Chapter 2, Problem 2.4P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The Newmann projection for staggered and eclipsed conformation about the terminal C-C bonds of butane is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Newmann projection is a way of representing the groups attached to carbon atoms in the C-C bonds. This is used to determine the interaction between the groups attached to carbon atoms and the dihedral angle. The front carbon atom in the Newmann projection is represented by the dot and the end on carbon atom is represented by the circle. The groups attached to the carbon atoms are then drawn by the line.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The potential energy versus dihedral angle for butane showing maximum and minimum energy with one of the conformer is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Newmann projection is a way of representing the groups attached to carbon atoms in the C-C bonds. This is used to determine the interaction between the groups attached to carbon atoms and the dihedral angle. The front carbon atom in the Newmann projection is represented by the dot and the end on carbon atom is represented by the circle. The groups attached to the carbon atoms are then drawn by the line.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The conformer present in highest amount in a sample of butane is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Newmann projection is a way of representing the groups attached to carbon atoms in the C-C bonds.

Students have asked these similar questions
Compounds X and Y both have the formula C7H₁4. Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form 2-methylhexane. The heat of hydrogenation of X is greater than that of Y. Both X and Y react with HCI to give the same single C7H15Cl compound as the major product. What is the structure of X? • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one. 23 ▾ Sn [F ChemDoodleⓇ 146
