Q. 3-3-16 P-b
Question
Sight along the C2-C1 bond of 2-methylpropane (isobutane).
(b) Draw a Newman projection of the least stable conformation.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
(b)
1Conformers
The different categories of conformers are the eclipsed and staggered conformers. The eclipsed conformer is an unstable conformer as the bulky groups are situated nearby and experience more repulsion.
2Newman projection of the least stable conformer
(b)The least stable conformer is the molecule having maximum repulsion between the atoms. The least stable conformer of 2-methylpropane can be given as:
Newman projection of the least stable conformer
