Cyclohexane Chairs

Cyclohexane makes weird shapes! The most important is the chair conformation. Here we will learn how to draw cyclohexane chairs, how to flip them, the difference in energy between the two chair conformations, and between axial and equatorial substituents. Chairs are easy place to lose points on exams if you don't draw them just right!

This helped so much that I want to get a tattoo of your face on my forehead.

Here we are again, night before the exam. Will I pass… or will I watch a whole series of Professor Dave explaining chapters of material intended for moderate consumption in a matter of hours. Godspeed gentleman.

the last minute comment about cis and trans not being related to axial and equatorial positions explained 5 hours of frustration and confusion

You are looking like Ranbir Kapoor.......

Professor Jesus here

Even after 8 years he didn't reply.😂😂😂😂😂

This video is worth millions....it helped me a lot....my exam's gonnna commence in about 2 hours and this video just nailed it... Kudos to professor dave!

A tip for knowing which direction to draw equatorial positions: Make sure the line is parallel to the bond 2 bonds over (either direction works)

Was going to drop this class, then I found your channel. You present everything in a very straightforward and engaging way!

[@wtbgothgf]

This helped me a lot in my last minute struggle to understand this concept fully before the exam. Thank you so much!

[@dude9864]

Wow this is the best playlist on organic chemistry ever, I am not confused about a single thing!

[@unitelanka]

you are very clear and concise.

[@sheenaverma1996]

Thank you very much for you help, I have my organic Chemistry exam coming up and the past couple of days I have been just watching your videos. They are so helpful and I actually understand, you taught me a whole semester full of organic chemistry through your videos. Much appreciated!

Thank you so so so so so so much I cannot stress how much this helped me. You are so clear and concise and I loved how you showed the conformations side by side to compare them.

[@adent94]

Your videos are the best! Thank you so much for taking the time to make them because they are extremely helpful :)

[@bradd777]

Very thorough and easy to understand! Thank you!

[@PasDeNomsDispos]
