The overall process of converting one chair conformation to another chair conformation is known as RING INVERSION or ring flipping and is a very rapid process. The cyclohexane ring inverts approximately 10 time a second at room temperature. 2. Show this interconversion by drawing the two chair conformations and putting a reversible arrow between them to indicate a dynamic equilibrium. 3. If we have a methylcyclohexane molecule and this undergoes ring inversion, whatwill be the resulting structure? ?arrow_forward
