For the r-1,c-3-dichloro-t-5-methylcyclohexane, the free energy difference between conformers with axial-axial (aa) and equatorial-equatorial (ee) chlorines was measured by a variable temperature NMR method, and the value found was 1.3 ± 0.2 Kcal/mol-1 (in acetone) favoring the latter. Molecular mechanics studies show that the solvation energy and the electrostatics are of major importance in understanding this equilibrium. Calculations show the effect of the methyl group is essentially additive, and give for cis-1,3-dichlorocyclohexane itself ee{measured angle}aa DH+ 3.0 kcal mol-1 (acetone).",
