Given the planar trisubstituted cyclohexane. Fill in the missing substituents (with H or Cl) to complete the two possible cyclohexane chair conformations. Then determine the more stable conformer. You might find it helpful to make a model of the cyclohexane to help visualize the chair conformations.

Draw splitting trees for the H at C1 in the most stable conformation of each isomer. The relevant coupling constants for chair cyclohexane structures, which depend on whether the hydrogens are in axial or equatorial positions, are as follows: Jaxial-axial = 10 Hz, Jaxial-equatorial = 3 Hz, and Jequatorial-equatorial = 6 Hz.
