Draw structures that meet the following descriptions (there are many

Possibilities):

(b) Two isomers with the formula C4H8O2

Short Answer

Expert verified

A specific kind of structural isomerism is the position isomerism. The functional group or the substituent atom is different in position isomers.

Increased substitution around a bond leads to increased strain. Take the four substituted butanes listed below, for example. For each compound, sight along the C2–C3 bond and draw Newman projections of the most stable and least stable conformations. Use the data in Table 3-5 to assign strain-energy values to each conformation. Which of the eight conformations is most strained? Which is least strained?

(a) 2-Methylbutane

(b) 2,2-Dimethylbutane

(c) 2,3-Dimethylbutane

(d) 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane
