Question

For the substituted cyclohexane compound given below, highlight the groups - by clicking on atoms - that will sterically interact with the methyl group in a 1, 3-diaxial fashion. For cyclohexane compounds drawn in a chair conformation, axial bonds are vertical, whereas equatorial bonds are parallel to two bonds within the ring. Thus, as drawn, the methyl group is in an equatorial position. Keeping in mind that chair conformations undergo ring flipping, what other conformation will have the methyl group in an axial position? What groups in that conformation will be in an axial position and on the same face of the ring?

Explanation / Answer

in this conformation methyl group is on the equatorial position and it does not show any interaction with group on axial position
