Which one of the following conformations of cyclohexane is chiral?
- ATwist boat
- BRigid
- CChair
- DBoat
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.
