Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The highest and lowest energy conformations of the given compound should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Newman projection:

  • The conformational isomers are representing by the Newman projection drawing.
  • Newman projection representing by front carbon atom connected to 3 groups then the 3 groups connected circle is a back carbon atom.
  • The electron clouds of the groups are make an interaction with other groups is called gauche interaction.
  • The gauche interaction between front and back atoms or groups is more means the energy will be high and interaction is low means energy will be low.
  •  The staggered structure is having lowest energy and eclipsed structure is having highest in energy.

To identify: the highest and lowest energy conformation of the given compound.
