Question

The conformations of 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexachlorobutane can be clearly illustrated by the various methods we have learned throughout the semester.

 

b) Draw the gauche conformation (conformer B) and one of the two more stable eclipsed
conformations (conformer C) of this molecule as Newman projections.
c) Draw the energy diagram, rotating around the C2-C3 bond a full 360°, showing the relative
energies of all conformers. Label the "hills" and "valleys" with letters indicating the
conformations that correspond to conformers A, B, and C.

a) Draw the perspective drawing (wedge and dash projection), and the Newman projection of
the most stable conformation of the molecule sighting down the C2-C3 bond axis. Label the
Newman projection conformer A.
