Chapter 2, Problem 2.6P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The Newmann projection and sawhorse conformations of the given line-and-wedge structure are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Newmann projection is a way of representing the groups attached to carbon atoms in the CC 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.

The line-and-wedge representation is used to show the molecule in three dimensions.

The sawhorse representation is used to show the above carbon atom on right side in a molecule.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The line-and-wedge and sawhorse conformations of the Newmann projection of (a) by rotating carbon-2 clockwise by 120° about the C2-C3 bond are to be drawn.
