Which one of the following conformations of cyclohexane is chiral?

  1. A
    Twist boat
  2. B
    Rigid
  3. C
    Chair
  4. D
    Boat

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The chair conformation and the boat conformation of cyclohexane have planes of symmetry, making them achiral.The twist-boat conformation is formed to reduce the flagpole interactions present in the boat form. It lacks both a plane of symmetry and a center of symmetry, thus it is a chiral conformation.
