Show transcribed image text Question #4: Conformations of cyclohexane. A. Using your molecular modeling kit, construct cyclohexane. In the space below, draw the c and boat conformations. In the chair conformation, draw all hydrogens and label as either axial (a) or equatorial (e). In the boat conformation, label only the flagpole hydrogens. B. Looking down the axes of carbons 1 and 2 and carbons 5 and 4, draw the parallel Newman projections for both conformations. Compare the two drawings and describe what you observe with regards to eclipsing and staggered interactions. C. Explain which conformation, the chair or the boat, is more stable. 52
