Chapter 2, Problem 65P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The kind of Newman projection of the conformer of butane shown in below structural representation should be identified.

  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 2, Problem 65P , additional homework tip  1

Concept introduction: Various interconvertible forms that results from rotation around the C–C bind in ethane are termed as conformer. To depict such conformation Newman projections are written. These are obtained by conversion of hashed-wedged line structure simply when molecule is viewed in a plane along the C–C as illustrated below.

  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 2, Problem 65P , additional homework tip  2

Thus in Newman's projection of simple ethane molecule, the “front” C is depicted as intersection of three bonds with three attached H . The other three bonds connected to the large circle corresponding to “back” carbon in C–C bond.
