Which conformation of cyclohexane is the most stable?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Chair
The chair conformation of cyclohexane is the most stable.
From the above representation, you can clearly see that the axial and equatorial hydrogens are at the farthest possible distance from each other. This makes the torsional strain the least in this case and the most stable.
