Question
Chapter 2.9, Problem 2.28TIY
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The expected potential-energy diagram for the rotation about the 
bond in 
should be drawn along with Newman projections of each staggered and eclipsed conformation.
Concept introduction: Various interconvertible forms that results from rotation around the 
bond 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 
as illustrated below:
Thus in Newman projection of simple ethane molecule the “front” 
is depicted as intersection of three bonds with three attached
The other three bonds connect to the large circle corresponding to “back” carbon in 
bond.

C6H12
From the chair conformation, rotate about the carbon-carbon bonds of the ring to form a boat conformation. In the boat conformation carbon atoms 1 and 4 are both above (they could also both be below) the plane described by carbon atoms 2, 3, 5 and 6. Look through each of the C-C bonds in the cyclohexane ring. Do you observe any eclipsing interactions? If so, describe what atoms/substituents are eclipsing.
Draw all Newman projections of 2,2 bromopropane conformations in which the CH3 group and the H of the CHY2 group are positioned 'gauche' to each other.
Draw the most stable conformer of trans–1–t-butyl–3–methylcyclohexane. Your structure should
clearly distinguish between all axial and equatorial positions.
