Newman projections viewed through the C3-C4 bond (C3 in the front, C4 in the back). Write the relevant conformations in 60° increments, indicate whether they are eclipsed or staggered, gauche, anti, or syn, and plot their Br ative potential energy. As you plot their relative potential energy, consider the propyl group on carbon 3 to be bulkier than the bromo group on carbon 3.
