Talk:Cyclohexane conformation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The most stable position of a cyclohexane would be the "chair-position". But if the cyclohexane has 2 or more t-butyl groups off the 1 and 4 position then the boat position is the best due to the avoidance of steric interference.

Remember: more stable means less potential energy (it won't blow up on you)!

[edit] Merge of ring flip

no: Ring inversion does not occur in cyclohexanes only. Although the way the ring flip is written now it's not obvious. --Cubbi 02:37, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A-values

I can't seem to find any discussion of A-values on wiki! This seems like the obvious place for it, sicne they're always calcuated for cyclohexane, but possibly merits its own page - any thoughts?? Seansheep (talk) 09:22, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
