Question

Most stable conformation of 1-isopropyl-4-methylcyclohexane is:

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

The structure that has both the bulky substituents at the equatorial positions are more stable since they do not have 1,3-diaxial interactions. Among the give structures only structure C has both the groups at the equatorial position.

1-Isopropyl-4-Methylcyclohexane

Both group at equitorial position.
