Newman projection: conformationalview along a carbon-carbon bond Conformations: 3-D arrangements of atoms in a molecule from rotation/twisting about single bonds qz cp
Conformations Staggered conformation:atoms/groups on 1 carbon are as far apart as possible from the atoms/groups on adjacent carbon = 60o qz cp
same plane = 0o Conformations Eclipsed conformation: atoms/groups on 1-C in closet approach to atoms/groups on adjacent C qz cp
Conformations Torsional strain or eclipsed interaction strain strain (E) arises from nonbonded atoms rotate from staggered to eclipsed conformations qz cp
Conformations Ethane as a function of dihedral angle qz cp
Conformations anti conformation • a conformation about a single bond in which the groups lie at a dihedral angle of 180° qz cp
Conformations Steric strain(nonbonded interaction strain): when atoms separated by 4 (more) bonds are forced closer Angle strain: when a bond angle must compressed or expanded from 109.5o calculate total strain - determine the lowest energy conformation ( molecular mechanics ) qz cp
Conformations • conformations of butane as a function of dihedral angle qz cp
Cyclopropane angle strain: bond angles compressed (109.5° 60°) torsional strain: all 6Hs eclipsed strain energy high qz cp
Cyclobutane puckering torsional strain slight angle strain net - puckered (butterfly) minimum energy conformation butstrain energy high qz cp
Cyclopentane “envelope” - torsional strain slightly angle strain envelope ~ 1/4th strain energy of cyclopropane qz cp
