Cyclohexane Chair Conformation and Axial Equatorial Stability

[@siddhu8558]

This is the actual way to study organic chemistry ! I never knew the actual meaning of that chair and boat before I saw this video.

[@Leah4sci]

Glad the video helped you understand the topic better!

[@beyzee8516]

This is the best explanation so far for this topic I'm literally screaming how every question in my mind was answered lol

[@Leah4sci]

Yay! that's awesome! I'm glad the video helped! All the best Bey Zee! :)

[@Harmony_10_10]

8 years have passed, and this is the best explanation of chair conformation i have ever watched, Thank you ❤

[@Leah4sci]

You're welcome and happy to hear it's standing the test of time!

[@pitachipenthusiast]

Your videos being me SO MUCH joy!! You are incredibly passionate about teaching, and it shows! I always come to your videos distraught and overwhelmed and leave them feeling so calm and satisfied. Your way of presenting information is so effective. I love all the metaphors, demonstrations, and connections you make. Your voice is also so soft and soothing. It makes me feel happy and less stressed. I feel much more at ease learning from this channel. Your videos are one of the best things to happen to undergraduate science resources.

[@Leah4sci]

Thank you so much for the great feedback Becca. I am glad to be of help to everyone having hard time with OChem. Thank you for subscribing! :) I wish you all the best!

[@PhillipH-san]

I'm not even in Ochem anymore and I still love to watch your videos! It's actually a lot more enjoyable when I don't have an exam looming over me!

[@PhillipH-san]

My major is Medical Laboratory Science. After completion of the program and passing a registry exam I will be a certified Medical Laboratory Technologist. I'm thinking of going into hematology and blood banking.

[@Leah4sci]

I understand that. I love orgo more and more each year

[@bayankhalil9839]

now i understood , neither the lecturer nor the practitioner helped me , thank you !!!

you did a crazy good job at explaining this

[@Leah4sci]

Thanks!

[@pushpakray3865]

Madam, this video is the best video ever on chair conformations of cyclohexane. I am a Chemistry Faculty for JEE and NEET(in India). I have used this video to explain chair conformers to my students as currently all lectures are conducted online due to the pandemic. Thank you so much for such amazing videos where explanation is lucid and interesting.

[@Leah4sci]

Happy to help, and thanks for sharing my resources with others!

[@sethsagnik7456]

Marvellous! This topic was taught by so many teachers and I thought that the problem was with me that I did not understand, but seeing this, I think I finally understood. Thanks a lot!

[@Leah4sci]

It's typically the teacher, everything is understandable

[@tanoydas1013]

I am a undergraduate student, it is more helpful to understand 🪑 conformation. Thank you mam. Love from India.

[@Leah4sci]

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!

[@rittenbrake1613]

takeaway : Axial substituents are highly unfavored, equatorial substituents are highly favored.

[@uditmodi9652]

14:22 Which one would be more stable between the two if in the first structure the methyl was on carbon number 4(AXIAL)?

[@Leah4sci]

A conformation where both groups are equatorial will always be more stable than one with the same groups in an axial position.

[@atharva2122]

Great explaination..!! Why don't we place the bulkier groups on the adjacent axial positions. They will face in directly the opposite directions, hence will be more stable

[@Leah4sci]

Thanks! Your question, at which part of the video? timestamp please.

[@snipershot210]

I'm not sure if it's correct to do this, but my prof taught us to draw equatorial substituents parallel to the bond coming off of the "alpha" carbon in respect to the substituent. (Can we use the alpha, beta etc. nomenclature for non-carboxyl groups?)

[@_The_Alchemist_]

Both Leah and your professor are correct. If you follow Leah carefully in this video you would realize that both are correct. But what your professor had taught you may come handy while carrying out reactions at cyclohexane.

[@snipershot210]

Zee Shan I know that Leah said that it doesn't matter on which side you draw the bond, but I thought it was better to have a set guideline because there is less room for confusion.

[@_The_Alchemist_]

I agree

[@Leah4sci]

I haven't heard of it being taught this way and so here is my advice for any trick 1- make sure you understand the logic behind it and that it makes sense 2- only once you confirm #1 above, memorize the trick

[@jarinwu4021]

Hello, what about 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane with both methyl groups in axial positions, because one is pointing upward and the other downward, wouldn't that be pretty stable too as the groups are pointing in opposite directions

[@Leah4sci]

Thanks for your question! The conformation in which both methyl groups are in the equatorial position would still be the most stable conformation. This is because substituents in the axial position have more unfavorable steric interactions with other axial atoms (in your case, hydrogens) on the same side of the ring. When the methyl groups are equatorial, steric hindrance is diminished.

[@chemistryzone1422]

Ooh my God. You just make it easier. I don't know how but it kinda look easir now. God bless you

Wouldn't the second molecule in the last example be more stable in the diaxial position, because they would be pointing directly away from each other 180 degrees?

I'm sorry, but I don't offer tutoring over KZbin comments. For help with this and more, I recommend joining the orgo study hall. Full details: leah4sci.com/join

[@fatemakhanpurwala1473]

But benzene is aromatic compound how is it related to cyclo compounds

[@siddikabegum393]

Hi Leah, Would we be able to determine stability of chair conformations even if we have one group that's axial and the other equatorial or does this depend on the type of group (bulky group) and whether that's on an equatorial or axial position ( equatorial being the most stable) ?

[@Leah4sci]

I think you've got the idea! The preference would be for the bulkier group to be in an equatorial position and the less bulky group to be axial.

[@wispy3180]

Just in time lol. Need this for my Friday quiz.

Too helpful 👍

[@Leah4sci]

Glad to hear that!

[@ilovecows303]

Why did you number the chair conformations that way?

[@Leah4sci]

Unless you're numbering for nomenclature, the direction doesn't matter so long as you're consistent between structures

[@taabisharshad2513]

Is the strain the axial substituents experience steric strain?

[@Leah4sci]

Yes, axial substituents experience steric strain with other axial atoms on the same side of the ring. In the equatorial position, steric strain is diminished.
