Envelope Conformation of Cyclopentane

Postby 704784857 » Sat Mar 18, 2017 11:27 pm

When labeling the axials and equatorials on an Envelope, specifically the bottom portion it, does it matter which way the axials face, considering how the axials are suppose to switch between down and up?

You are only responsible for knowing how to draw the "3 dimensional" chair conformation for cyclohexane. We did not discuss drawing the envelop conformation so if you are asked for cyclopentane, just draw it planar as a pentagon.
