Staggered And Eclipsed Conformation Of Butane. Click the structures and reaction arrows to view the 3d models and animations respectively. Which of these conformations is more stable and why?
After completing this section, you should be able to. The two conformations of ethane, staggered and eclipsed, are different and therefore should be in different energy levels.
Eclipsed Conformation Is A High Strain Structure.
Depict the staggered and eclipsed conformers of propane (or a similar compound) using sawhorse representations.
We Started With The Staggered Conformation Of Butane Right Here, Which Has A Certain Potential Energy, And We Went From This Staggered Conformation To This Eclipsed Conformation Right Here By Rotating 60 Degrees.
You may also intuitively predict that the staggered.
