  Cyclohexane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the lowest-energy chair conformation, half of the 12 hydrogens are in axial positions, which means their C-H bonds are parallel and appear to stick up and down from the structure, the other half are in equatorial positions; meaning that they are splayed out.
Only the twist form is isolable as - like the chair form - it represents an energy minima, although of a higher energy than the chair form due to increased torsional strain when compared to the chair form.
The boat and half-chair forms are transition states between the twist forms and the twist and chair forms respectively, and are impossible to isolate.

Chair, Boat, Twist - If carbon atoms 1, 2, 4 and 5 of cvclohexane occupy coplanar positions and when carbon atoms and 6 are on opposite sides of the plane the conformation (of symmetry group D3d) is called a chair form.
Conformational Analysis - The assessment of the relative energies (or thermodynamic stabilities), reactivities, and physical properties of alternative conformations of a molecular entity, usually by the application of qualitative or semi-quantitative rules or by semi-empirical calculations.
It is analogous to the chair conformation of cyclohexane.

 CHAPTER 6
Conformation is a spatial arrangement of a molecule of a given constitution and configuration.
The rate of conformational changes can be further lowered by involvement of the NH group in hydrogen bonding with neighbouring molecules (formation of dimers, etc.) or fragment of the same molecules, giving rise to rigid conformers (alpha-helix, beta-sheet of protein).
Conformation of saturated six-membered rings is important in view of the fact that they are key building block of most carbohydrates and are also featured in such compounds as inositol phosphates and cyclic 3',5'-nucleoside phosphates.

Chair conformation is a term used for the most stable chemical structure of a six member single bonded carbon ring.
chair conformation is the most energetically stable of all different forms of the ring.
chair conformation is the conformation with the lowest energy, and is therefore the most stable conformation.

The conformational flexability of cyclohexane is somewhat unique in that two equivalent structures are involved which are linked by a process termed "ring inversion".
The explanation for this fact is that the flexability of cyclohexane allows for rapid ring inversion, in which one chair conformation is replaced by a second.
In the axial conformation, however, the van der Waals radii of the bromine significantly overlaps with that of the two axial hydrogens.

In the previous tutorials on conformations, we learned the factors that affect the energy (stability) of conformations as a result of rotation around a C-C bond of acyclic (non-cyclic) alkanes.
The most stable conformation of cyclohexane is the chair conformation, in which all bond angles are close to the tetrahedral 109°.
As cyclohexane goes from one chair conformation to the other (note that the two chairs are equivalent), it has to go through several other forms (conformations): half-chair, twist boat, and boat.

These conformations were commonly represented by the so-called 'sawhorse'projection in which the C-C bond is artificially elongated so that the relative orientations of the C-H bonds can be displayed (Fig 1.13); however, this has been largely superseded by the use of the Newman projection.
In Fig 1.14 theta is the dihedral or torsion angle and is 60 deg in staggered conformation and 0 deg in the eclipsed conformation.
The synperiplanar conformer is the highest-energy and therefore least favoured owing to the close proximity of eight pairs of mutually repulsive bonding electrons, and at the other end of the scale, the antiperiplanar conformer is lowest energy and most favoured as it affords maximum repulsion of all bonding electrons.

The structures of mannopyranose in the 4C1 chair conformation are less than 1.5 to 3 kcal/mol higher in overall energy than the lowest energy glucopyranose conformation that we have found.
The 4C1 chair conformers of mannopyranose possess a slight preference for the beta-anomer over the alpha-anomer in vacou.
The lowest energy conformation of mannopyranose in this study is the beta tg rotamer, however, other gg and gt rotamers of mannopyranose are within less than 0.3 kcal/mol in overall energy.

 Stereoisomers
A careful examination of the axial conformer shows that this steric hindrance is due to two gauche-like orientations of the methyl group with ring carbons #3 and #5.
The corresponding equilibrium constant is related to the energy difference between the conformers, and collecting such data allows us to evaluate the relative tendency of substituents to exist in an equatorial or axial location.
In a sample of cyclohexane, the two identical chair conformers are present in equal concentration, and the hydrogens are all equivalent (50% equatorial & 50% axial) due to rapid interconversion of the conformers.

The lowest energy arrangement of the atoms in cyclohexane is the chair conformation which is shaped like a patio chair.
These two chair conformations are equal in energy and the barrier to rotation is small enough that this interconversion occurs readily at room temperature.
Furthermore, because each conformation has one axial and one equatorial methyl group, the energy of the two conformations is the same.

The theoretical calculations suggest the presence of four low-energy conformations, two of which involve a trans junction of the D and E rings, with the other two involving a cis I ring junction.
The 1H NMR data strongly suggest the presence of a trans D-E ring junction and are consistent with a chair conformation of the E ring.
