Which one of the following conformations of cyclohexane is the least stable?
- A Half-chair
- B Boat
- C Twisted-boat
- D Chair
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Half-chair
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The stability order of conformation of cyclohexane is chair \(>\) twist boat \(>\) boat \(>\) half-chair Hence, half-chair is less stable due to torsional and angle strain.
