A monosubstituted cyclohexane is one in which there is one non-hydrogen substituent in the cyclohexane ring. The most energetically favorable conformation for a monosubstituted cyclohexane is the chair conformation with the non-hydrogen substituent in the equatorial position because it prevents high steric strain from 1,3 diaxial interactions.

Examples of absolute configuration of some carbohydrates and amino acids according to Fischer projection (D/L system) and Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rules (R/S system) The R/S system is an important nomenclature system for denoting enantiomers. This approach labels each chiral center R or S according to a system by which its substituents ...
In ortho-substitution, two substituents occupy positions next to each other, which may be numbered 1 and 2.In the diagram, these positions are marked R and ortho.; In meta-substitution, the substituents occupy positions 1 and 3 (corresponding to R and meta in the diagram).

The molecular configuration of a molecule is the permanent geometry that results from the spatial arrangement of its bonds. [1] The ability of the same set of atoms to form two or more molecules with different configurations is stereoisomerism .
More generally, for any pair of enantiomers, all of the descriptors are opposite: (R,R) and (S,S) are enantiomers, as are (R,S) and (S,R). Diastereomers have at least one descriptor in common; for example (R,S) and (R,R) are diastereomers, as are (S,R) and (S,S). This holds true also for compounds having more than two stereocenters: if two ...
Cyclohexane is a prototype for low-energy degenerate ring flipping. Two 1 H NMR signals should be observed in principle, corresponding to axial and equatorial protons. However, due to the cyclohexane chair flip, only one signal is seen for a solution of cyclohexane at room temperature, as the axial and equatorial proton rapidly interconvert ...
The (R) configuration is assigned to the stereocenter if the direction of rotation is directed to the right. If one molecule contains several stereocenters, a locant must be placed before the descriptor (for example, in (1 R , 2 S )-2-amino-1-phenylpropan-1-ol, the systematic designation of norephedrine ).
