How do I specify if I would like a group to take an axial position or equatorial position?





THANKS!

In Marvin there is no direct tool to specify the axial or equatorial position of a substituent. On the other hand, if you define the stereochemistry using wedge bonds, the axial/equatorial position is indirectly specified due to the relative position of the substituents, and their interactions with the hydrogens and other substituents on the ring. You can see the result using the Clean3D option of Marvin.
