Question
Chapter 18, Problem 45PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: “Diphenyl methane achieve co-planarity in the highest energy conformation” – it should be explained
Concept introduction:
- For a compound that bears two
aromatic rings separated by one carbon atom, the single bond experiences free rotation at room temperature - Free rotation of the single bond enables the molecule to adopt different conformations
- When two rings are co-planar, there is a significant steric interaction between two of the aromatic hydrogen atoms.
- Steric interaction can be reduce by adopting a conformation in which the two rings are not coplanar
