Question:

Consider 2-methylpropane (isobutene). Sighting along the C2-C1 bond:

(a) Draw a Newman projection of the most stable conformation.

(b) Draw a Newman projection of the least stable conformation.

(c) Make a graph of energy versus angle of rotation around the C2-C1 bond.

(d) Since an H ↔ H eclipsing interaction costs 4.0kJ/mol and an H ↔ CH3 eclipsing interaction costs 6.0kJ/mol, assign relative values to the maxima and minima in your graph.
