Flourinated hydrocarbons such as CHF2-CHF2 are used in refrigerants
(A) Draw in a NEWMAN projection two conformational stereoisomers of
CHF2-CHF2 that are conformational enantiomers of each other. Identify if this is an
OclipOd or staggered conformation. There are multiple correct answers to this.
(B) Draw in a NEWMAN project the conformer of CHF2-CHF2 that has a mirror
image that is superimposable on itself. There is more than one correct answer to this.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Conformational isomers are those isomers which are easily convertable without breaking sigma bond or by simple rotation . These are same molecules i.e. Homomers
