The "ring flip" is a conformational change that occurs in cyclic compounds, particularly in cyclohexane and its derivatives. This phenomenon is important in organic chemistry as it affects the physical properties and reactivity of the molecule. In the case of cyclohexane, the ring flip involves the conversion of one chair conformation to another. Cyclohexane can exist in two primary stable conformations known as "chair" conformations.
