When I look down the 1 to 2 carbon and 5 to 4 carbon for the axial position I am getting exactly the Newman projection you have, however, for the equatorial position Newman when I look down the 1 to 2 carbon and 4 to 5 carbon I am not getting the same Newman projection.I am getting two regular looking Y’s instead(with the methyl group in the northwest of the left Y) while you have upside down Y’s with the methyl group in the southwest of the leftmost Y.

In reply to Yahi. No, the lone pairs of oxygen do not exert any steric influence. Thank you for the kind words.
