Question- Draw Newman projections for the sequence of structures depicting bond angle rotation about the central C-C bond in n-butane (do this in 60 degree intervals, dihedral angle values from 0-360 degrees) a) Label each conformation as eclipsed or staggered and indicate which staggered conformation is either anti or gauche B) which is more stable, anti or gauche? C) What evidence is there for steric repulsion between methyl groups in the gauche conformation?
I have read my textbook moreover I still don't understand so please provide me a very condensed, simple to know answer?
