The most stable chair conformation of trans-1-bromo-4-isopropylcyclohexane has the bromine in the axial position and the isopropyl group in the equatorial position. This arrangement minimizes steric hindrance and enhances stability. To draw this, start with a basic chair conformation, then place the groups accordingly. ;
The most stable chair conformation of trans-1-bromo-4-isopropylcyclohexane has bromine in the axial position and isopropyl in the equatorial position, minimizing steric hindrance. To draw it, start with a chair conformation, placing the bromine at C1 axially and the isopropyl at C4 equatorially. This arrangement maximizes the compound's stability.
