Question 19
Which of the following statements is not true regarding the conformation of substituted cyclohexanes?
ring inversion of cyclohexane between two chair conformations takes place via a boat conformation
substituted cyclohexanes are destabilized by 1,3-diaxial interactions
the boat conformation of cyclohexane is usually more stable than the chair conformation
the ratio of two conformations of substituted cyclohexanes at equilibrium can be determined from the difference in strain energy
