- Label a curve of potential energy vs. dihedral angle for the Newman conformations of 2,3-dimethylbutane. In each case, the C-2 to C-3 bond rotates in the clockwise direction. Step 1: Translate line-bond notation to the Newman projection. Step 2: Identify Newman projections for each rotation. HI ||| H Step 3: Identify the relative stability of each Newman projection. Step 4: Construct the energy diagram. Step 2: Identify the Newman projections for each rotation (continued). As the back carbon rotates, the Newman projections alternate from staggered to eclipsed and back again. Fill in the remaining conformations for each conformation labeled with the angle of internal rotation from the starting Newman projection.

In assigning an R or S) is a stereogenic center if three different alkyl groups are bonded to sulfur because sulfur is surrounded by four different groups, including its lone pair. In assigning an designation to sulfur, the lone pair is always assigned the lowest priority (4). SAM, S -adenosylmethionine, is a biologically active sulfonium ion that we will learn about in Section 7.16. Locate all the stereogenic centers in SAM, and assign an R,S designation to each center.arrow_forwardXIX. Draw the ring flip for compound A and label compound B. Calculate and compare the energies of the two conformers (A and B respectively), knowing that a methyl-methyl gauche interaction is 3.8 kJ/mol, the H-CH3 diaxial interaction is 3.75 kJ/mol and the CH3 - CH3 diaxial interaction is 15 kJ/mol.
