Answer:
Using Newman projections, draw the most stable conformation for each of the following compounds.
(a) 3-methyl pentane, viewed along with the C2-C3 bond.
(b) 3,3-dimethyl hexane, viewed along with the C3-C4 bond.
Explanation:
(a) The structure of 3-methyl pentane is shown below:
In Newman projection, the most stable conformation is staggard conformation.
In staggard conformation, the torsional strain is very less compared to eclipsed conformation.
(b)3,3-dimethyl hexane, viewed along with the C3-C4 bond.
