Summary

Description
English: Cyclohexane chair flip (ring inversion) reaction. Structures of the significant conformations (A, B, C & D) of the reaction are shown. Inversion happens quickly & constantly in room temperature.

Conformations:

1: chair (lowest in energy)

2: half-chair (highest in energy)

3: twist-boat

4: boat

When ring flip happens completely from chair-to-chair, hydrogens that were previously axial (blue H) turn equatorial & equatorial ones (red H) turn axial.

Pink and orange arrows show how one can imagine how carbons are being "pushed" as one conformation turns into another.
