Question
Which one of the following conformations of cyclohexane is chiral?(a) rigid(b) chair(c) boat(d) twist boat
Step 1
In other words, it has a non-superimposable mirror image, also known as an enantiomer. For a molecule to be chiral, it must have at least one stereogenic center (a carbon atom with four different substituents). Now, let's analyze the conformations of Show more…

Isomerism
JEE (Main) Exercises
Conformational isomers are structures obtained by rotation around single bonds. Conformational isomers are easily interconvertible as the energy differences are very small between the various structures. The conformation of cyclohexane which is most stable is (a) boat (b) twist boat (c) chair (d) planar
