You get a 6 Carbon chain; you put them in a ring.
You got a 6 Carbon ring; now let's talk about the strain.
Angle, Torsional, Steric are the strains to work around,
Let's make a chair formation!
Angle strain is compression of bond angles,
To avoid this strain, make tetrahedral shapes.
One-0-nine point five is the angle that you want.
Let's make a chair formation!
Let's make a chaiiiiiiiir for-mation!
Let's make a chaiiiiiiiir for-mation!
Let's make a chair for--mation!
Cyclohexane's chair formation!
Bond to bond overlap gives you torsional strain.
This overlap leads to kJ mol gain.
To get rid of this strain you want a staggered conformation.
Let's make a chair formation!
Atomic crowding gives you steric strain,
Bulky groups in axial positions?!?
In equatorial planes you reduce atom repulsion.
Let's make a chair formation!
Let's make a chaiiiiiiiir for-mation!
Let's make a chaiiiiiiiir for-mation!
Let's make a chair for--mation!
Cyclohexane's chair formation!!!!!!!!
