Conformational studies on ethane-12-diol hoch2-ch2oh have


Conformational studies on ethane-1,2-diol (HOCH2-CH2OH) have shown the most stable conformation about the central C-C bond to be the gauche conformation, which is 9.6 kJ/mol (2.3 kcal/mol) more stable than the anti conformation. Draw the gauche conformer using a sawhorse. Can you explain this curious thermodynamic observation?
