    Does drawing cyclohexane make you feel like you’re taking an art class? This video shows you a simple step-by-step approach for easily drawing cyclohexane hexagons, chairs, and ring flips.
    We’re not looking at perfecting your art skills, instead, we’re looking for a stress-free approach that makes your molecules and substituents look TOO obvious for your professor to deduct points for ambiguity.
    In this video:
    [0:53] Drawing cyclohexane
    [2:04] Drawing chair conformations
    [4:11] Arranging Axial/Equatorial substituents
    [5:47] understanding the middle substituents
    [6:30] Chair Conformation sample problem
    [10:27] How to do a ring flip
