imagine a cyclohexane chair structure with 3 methyl groups attached to (1 methyl each) carbon 1, carbon 2, carbon 3.

structure A has it attached at carbon 1 as axial, at carbon 2 as equatorial , carbon 3 as axial

structure B has it attached at carbon 1 as axial, carbon 2 as axial, and carbon 3 as equatorial

which is more stable?

-
Both A and B have 2 axial and 1 equitorial methyl groups. The 1, 3 CH3 / CH3 diaxial interactions in A are worse than the 2 CH3 /H interactions in B. B is lower energy.

-
B because A has a 1,3-diaxial interaction.
