Chapter 13, Problem 13.11YT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A Newman projection looking down the $\text{C2 - C3}$ bond for both the target and the precursor in equation $\text{13-43}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Newman projections are used to show conformation, and it is shown by rotating about the $\text{C-C}$ single bond about the axis. In Newman projection, the atom in the front is represented as a point, and the atom in the back it represented as a circle. Here a ${\text{90}}^{\text{o}}$ counterclockwise rotation of both molecules gives C2 at front and C3 at back in Newman projection.
