Conformational studies on ethane-1,2-diol (HOCH2¬CH2OH) have shown the most stable conformation about the central C¬C bond to be the gauche conformation, which is 9.6 kJ/mol (2.3 kcal/mol) more stable than the anti conformation. Draw Newman projections of these conformers, and explain this curious result.
Consider 1-bromopropane, CH3CH2CH2Br.
(a) Draw a Newman projection for the conformation in which CH3 and -Br are anti (dihedral angle 180°).
(b) Draw Newman projections for the conformations in which - CH3 and -Br are gauche (dihedral angles 60° and 300°).
(c) Which of these is the lowest energy conformation?
(d) Which of these conformations, if any, are related by reflection?
Sight along the C2-C1 bond of 2-methylpropane (isobutane).(a) Draw a Newman projection of the most stable conformation.(b) Draw a Newman projection of the least stable conformation.(c) Make a graph of energy versus angle of rotation around the C2-C1 bond.(d) Assign relative values to the maxima and minima in your graph, given that an H↔H eclipsing interaction costs 4.0 kJ/mol and an H↔CH3 eclipsing interaction costs 6.0 kJ/mol.
