I am wondering what the rule is for determining functional grouppositions for the most stable chair and boat conformations ofcyclohexanes; meaning basically is there a pattern as to whetherthe functional group will be axial or equatorial for the moststable conformation based on which C # it is attached to (i.e. C-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6)?
What's the most stable for chair and boat ofcis-1-bromo-4-methylcyclohexane as well as thetrans-1-bromo-4-methylcyclohexane? (which group is axialand which is equatorial) Thank you
