Question
Chapter 4, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:The reason for the twist-boat conformation of cyclohexane to be more stable than the boat conformation needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:The twist-boat conformation of cyclohexane is more stable than the boat conformation because there is less steric hindrance than boat conformation.
