Question

Among the structures given below, the most stable conformation for the following compound is:a)b)c)d)Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer

To determine the most stable conformation of the given compound, we need to consider the concept of steric hindrance and torsional strain in organic chemistry.

The correct answer is C. Here's why:

- In option C, the bulky tert-butyl groups are in the equatorial position, reducing steric hindrance.

- This conformation minimizes torsional strain, making it more stable compared to the other options where the bulky groups are in the axial position.

- Therefore, option C represents the most stable conformation for the given compound.

Answer

In structure All Methyl groups are above the plane so option B & D are incorrect, so for stability the conditions is that maximum bulky group must be taken equatorial position so in C option 2 methyl group take equatorial position, so it is more stable

Answer

Option B is correct. In this structure no any methyl group at axial position and thus have maximum stability. In option C there are 1 methyl at axial and 2 at equatorial position.
