Ranking the Stability of
Newman Projection
Ex. Conformations of Butane – STAGGERED CONFORMATION
The methyl groups are as far away from each other as possible, which
is the most stable conformation, called the anti conformation. The
other two drawings both have the methyl groups near each other in
space. This interaction is called a gauche interaction, which makes
these conformations a little bit less stable than the anti
15 conformation.
