chairkonformaatiossa
Chairkonformaatiossa refers to the chair conformation of cyclohexane and its derivatives. Cyclohexane is a six-membered ring of carbon atoms that can exist in various spatial arrangements, or conformations. The most stable of these is the chair conformation, so named because it resembles a folding chair. In this conformation, the carbon atoms are not all in the same plane, but rather alternate slightly above and below the average plane of the ring.
This arrangement minimizes torsional strain and angle strain, making it the lowest energy conformation for cyclohexane.
The relative stability of substituents in axial versus equatorial positions is an important consideration in the
