Chapter 24.9, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The most stable conformation of chloromethyl methyl ether is to be sketched.

Concept introduction:

The gauche conformation for structural units of the type XCYR is more stable than its anti-conformation due to anomeric effect. The X and Y mentioned in the structure are electronegative atoms. Y must have at least one unshared lone pair of electrons.

EBK ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Chapter 24.9, Problem 10P

The anomeric effect in this case describes that the heteroatom X orients in a way that the CX and YR bonds are in gauche conformation instead of less hindered anti conformation.
