Book excerpt: The idea of conformation, or orientation of molecular shapes in space, is a fundamental concept in organic chemistry. Are you gauche enough to admit that you can’t tell a chair from a boat? This workbook, written by two award-winning instructors from the University of British Columbia, will help you identify and, more importantly, draw critical views and shapes such as the Newman projection, the anti and gauche conformations of alkanes and cyclohexane ring-flipping between one chair form and another.
