Hello,
I was reading an answer from the book Organic Chemistry by Brown et al. The question is 2.51 "Draw alternative chair conformations for each substituted cyclohexane and state which chair is more stable." There are then 4 cyclohexanes (labeled a-d). For the "a" cyclohexane, the substituents are arranged as a combination of axial and equatorial in both chair conformations. However, for the "b," "c," and "d," cyclohexanes one chair has only equatorial substituents, and the other chair has only axial substituents. Why is the "a" chair conformation different?

Given cyclohexane in a chair conformation, construct the more stable conformation of cis‑1‑methyl‑2‑propylcyclohexane by filling in the missing atoms or groups. Use the numbering provided on the ring.
Draw the alternative chair conformations for the cis and
trans isomers of 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane, 1,3-
dimethylcyclohexane, and 1,4-dimethylcyclohexane. (a
) Indicate by a label whether each methyl group is axial
or equatorial. (b) For which isomer(s) are the alternative
chair conformations of equal stability? (c) For which
isomer(s) is one chair conformation more stable than
the other?
