### CHEM 2251: Problem Set 4

#### Problem 4

**Task:** Draw the structure of 1,1-dibromo-2-methylpropane.

1. **Looking down the C1–C2 bond**, draw a Newman projection. Then, by rotating that bond 60 degrees at a time, **draw the 5 remaining Newman projections**.
2. **Label each Newman projection** as staggered or eclipsed.
3. Label any/all **steric strain**.
4. **Draw an energy diagram** ranking the relative energy of each Newman projection as you move through the full 360-degree rotation.

**Newman Projections of 1,1-dibromo-2-methylpropane**

1. **Structure:**
   - The given formula outlines the positions of Br, H, and CH3 groups as:
     ```
       Br          CH3
       |           |
    Br-C1         C3
       |           |
     H-C2-H     H-C3-H
     ```

2. **Newman Projections:**

   i. **Projection 1: Staggered**
   - Front carbon (C1): Br, H, H
   - Rear carbon (C2): CH3, Br, H
     ```
       H     Br     CH3
       /       |       \
      Br — C1 — C2 — CH3
       \       |       /
        H     H     Br
       (Drawing: Front carbon in the circle, rear groups staggered)
     ```

   ii. **Projection 2: Eclipsed (60° rotation)**
   - Front carbon (C1): Br, H, H
   - Rear carbon (C2): CH3, H, Br
     ```
       Br    Br    H
       /       |       \
      H — C1 — C2 — H
       \       |       /
        H     CH3   CH3
       (Drawing: Front carbon in the circle, rear groups eclipsed)
     ```

   iii. **Projection 3: Staggered (60° further rotation)**
   - Front carbon (C1): Br, H, H
   - Rear carbon (C2): Br, CH3, H
     ```
       H     CH3     Br
       /       |       \
      Br — C1 — C
