- Consider pentane, C5H12. Looking through the internal C3-C4single bond, draw thesix Newman projections (where the angle between two bonds as you look through the C3and C4bond is either 0°or 60°of the different conformations. Label the conformers/rotamers using I, II, etc. a.Which conformer is the most stable? the least stable? b.Which rotamer is the anticonformer? the gaucheconformer? c.Draw the anticonformer in saw horse projection.arrow_forward(a) Using Newman projections, draw all staggered and eclipsed conformations that result from rotation around the bond highlighted in red in each molecule; (b) draw a graph of energy versus dihedral angle for rotation around this bond.arrow_forwardAmong the figure, (a) what is the most stable conformation of n-pentane? (b) gauche conformation of butane and (c) least stable conformation of butanearrow_forward
- a. Draw the three staggered and three eclipsed conformations that result from rotation around the bond labeled in red using Newman projections. b. Label the most stable and least stable conformation.arrow_forwardHello, I was reading an answer from the book Organic Chemistry by Brown et al. The question is 2.51 "Draw alternative chair conformations for each substituted cyclohexane and state which chair is more stable." There are then 4 cyclohexanes (labeled a-d). For the "a" cyclohexane, the substituents are arranged as a combination of axial and equatorial in both chair conformations. However, for the "b," "c," and "d," cyclohexanes one chair has only equatorial substituents, and the other chair has only axial substituents. Why is the "a" chair conformation different? https://www.bartleby.com/solution-answer/chapter-2-problem-251p-organic-chemistry-8th-edition/9781305580350/draw-alternative-chair-conformations-for-each-substituted-cyclohexane-and-state-which-chair-is-more/4532cd91-c341-11e9-8385-02ee952b546earrow_forwardConsider 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane.a.

- a)draw the Newman projection b) rotate the back carbon by 60 degree , draw the staggered conformer c) Rotate the back carbon further by 120 degrees, draw the staggered conformer.arrow_forwarda. Draw the two chair conformers for each of the stereoisomers of trans-1-tert-butyl-3-methylcyclohexane. b. For each pair, indicate which conformer is more stable.arrow_forwardConsider the following cyclohexane derivative: *Figure is the screenshot* a. Draw a chair conformation for the cyclohexane derivative above showing equatorial and axial positions at the carbon atoms bearing the substituents. b. Draw the flipped chair conformation showing the axial and equatorial position at the carbon atoms that bear the substituents. Determine which structure is more stable(8a or 8b)? Describe and give your reasons.arrow_forward
