It is produced through complete hydrogenation of benzene.
This compound's structure is the simplest repeating unit in chiralane and twistane. 28 people were killed in Flixborough, England in 1974 when a factory oxidizing this compound into KA oil exploded. Steric effects are quantified by determining the difference in free energy when a substituent is placed on this molecule, a difference called the A value. Two molecules of this compound are fused together in decalin. To minimize flagpole interactions, this compound undergoes a 10.8 kcal pseudorotation. The twist boat is a conformer of this compound, though in its stablest form, half the hydrogens are equatorial and half axial; that conformer has zero strain and is called a chair. It is produced through complete hydrogenation of benzene. For 10 points, name this six-membered cycloalkane.
