Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The boat conformation experiences the most transannular strain because the two axial groups are in very close proximity. In contrast, the chair conformation has axial groups that are far apart, and both the planar and twist boat conformations have no axial or equatorial positions, so there is no transannular strain present.
