What are the relative energies of the three possible staggered conformation around the C-2, C-3 bond in 2,3-dimethyl butane?

In the next chapter we’ll look at cycloalkanes—saturated cyclic hydrocarbons—and we’ll see that the molecules generally adopt puckered, nonplanar conformations. Cyclohexane, for instance, has a puckered shape like a lounge chair rather than a flat shape. Why?

Draw a compound that:

  1. Has only primary and tertiary carbons
  2. Has no secondary or tertiary carbons
  3. Has four secondary carbons

Draw structures corresponding to the following IUPAC names:

(a) 3, 4-Dimethylnonane

Draw and name all monobromo derivatives of pentane C5H11Br.
