What is the alternate chair conformation of the following compound?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cyclohexane ring in the given compound can be interconverted into its alternate chair conformation by undergoing ring flip. In the alternate chair conformation, the axial and equatorial positions of substituents are interchanged. The substituent at C3 and C5 remains axial in the alternate chair conformation. The substituent at C2 and C6, which were equatorial in the given conformation, become axial in the alternate conformation. Similarly, the substituents at C1 and C4 become equatorial in the alternate conformation. Among the given options, only option B correctly shows the axial and equatorial positions of the substituents in the alternate chair conformation.
