17. One of the chair conformers of cis-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane is 5.4 kcal/mol (23 kJ/mol) less stable than the other. How much steric strain does a 1,3-diaxial interaction between two methyl groups introduce into the conformer? Using the data obtained in the above problem, calculate the amount of steric strain in each of ir conformers of 1,1,3-trimethylcyclohexane. Which conformer would predominate at equilibrium?
