Chair Conformation Flip

This comparison is shown below.
Chair conformation flip. The first thing you need to know before drawing the ring flip of a chair cyclohexane is the correct conformation of the carbon chain and the orientation of each axial and equatorial group. So this is carbon two right here and you can see now we have axial up for our hydrogens so we go to carbon two and we have axial up. How to draw cyclohexane chair conformations and ring flipsneed help with orgo.
This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into ring flips of the cyclohexane chair conformation. Carbon three would be this one. This video walks you through the ring flip and boat conformations both with a model kit as well as how to draw the ring flip and boat on paper.
Yes the flip happens when one molecule changes its conformation to another but the key to drawing the flip successfully is to ignore the first chair. An alternate conformation for a six membered ring is called the boat. With the chair on the left of the figure the nose of the cyclohexane chair goes down and the tail of the cyclohexane goes up to make the new chair cyclohexane conformer.
Counter intuitive i know but trust me this method works. At c one in the other chair conformation we started axial up so we re gonna start axial down so we put a hydrogen going down at this point and we move over to carbon two. With a ring flip all hydrogens that were originally axial become equatorial and all hydrogens that were equatorial become axial.
The mirror image relationship can be seen by comparing the ring flip conformation of the chair projection on the right to the current conformation of the chair projection on the left. Draw both chair conformation ring flip and use the table to calculate the relative energy cost associated with each group in the axial position to determine the more stable chair conformation of each of the following compounds.

The ring flip of cyclohexane. Cyclohexanes are most stable in the chair conformation. This requires a ring flip to interconvert between the 2 chair conformations with some funky boat intermediates.
