Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The correct Newman project of given molecule needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: Organic compounds are the compounds which are mainly composed C and H atoms. This is the branch of chemistry that deals with preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds. The molecular formula of organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols.

The structural formula represents all the bonded atoms with chemical bonds and the arrangement of atoms in the molecule. The compounds with same molecular formula and different structural formula are called as isomers. Isomers can be classified as constitutional isomers and stereoisomers.

Constitutional isomers can be defined as the pair of molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural formula. Stereoisomers have same molecular and structural formula but they have different arrangement of atoms in the three-dimensional space.

Draw the lowest energy Newman projection of the following molecule sighting down the C3-C4 bond.
Draw Newman projects of all the staggered conformations for the molecule below looking along the bolded bond in the direction indicated by the arrow. The carbon closest to the arrow should be the front carbon of your Newman projection. (It is a practice problem from the book but I am confused about how to approach it.)
Draw the following molecule as both the (a) most stable Newman projection and (b) the Fischer projectio ОН O.
