Chapter 3.10, Problem 37P

a. Draw all the staggered and eclipsed conformers that result from rotation about the C-2—C-3 bond of pentane.

b. Draw a potential-energy diagram for rotation about the C-2–C-3 bond of pentane through 360°, starting with the least stable conformer.

Draw the staggered and eclipsed conformations that result from rotation around the C–C bond in CH3–CH2Br.
PART II. BOND ROTATION IN BUTANE (STRUCTURES AND ENERGIES) Dihedral angle—eclipsed conformation 1. Relative energy—eclipsed 2. C1–C2–C3 bond angle—eclipsed 3. C1–C4 H–H distance—eclipsed 4. C2–C3 bond distance—eclipsed 5. C1–C2 bond distance—eclipsed 6. Dihedral angle—second eclipsed conformation 7. Relative energy—second eclipsed 8. C1–C2–C3 bond angle—second eclipsed 9. C2–C3 bond distance—second eclipsed 10.
Interconversion of the staggered and eclipsed conformations of alkanes requires rotation around a -C bond such as the one depicted below (see arrow). Using your knowledge of bonding, explain why these rotations do not significantly affect the energy (strength) of these bonds. You may find it helpful to describe the type of bond being rotated.
