Which of the following statements about the conformers that result from rotation about the C₂-C₃ bond of butane is correct?
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Check each statement : (A) the highest energy conformer of butane is the fully eclipsed one in which the two methyl groups eclipse each other, not hydrogens - false. (B) the gauche conformer is staggered, not eclipsed - false. (C) the fully eclipsed form has the most steric strain (Me eclipsing Me) - false. (D) torsional strain is at its maximum, not absent, in eclipsed forms - false. Hence none of the above is correct.
