3. Newman Projections Of Butane: Staggered And Eclipsed Now it’s time for some Newman projections. Here, we’re going to take our model of butane in the staggered conformation and look along the C2-C3 bond. When we do that we can sketch out the Newman projection like this: ...

The most stable GS is a staggered conformer that its two methyl groups are on the opposite sides if we look end-on (look at its Newman projection). This conformation is designated as anti form. The other two GSs (conformers) have the same stability and energy, but have a higher energy...
Butane (C4H10) is a slightly more complex hydrocarbon consisting of four carbon and ten hydrogen atoms. It provides an excellent example of how Newman projection can be applied to study the conformations of larger molecules. We will focus our attention on the C2-C3bond. The various conformations...
This type of projection is important in the stereochemistry of alkanes. In the Newman projection, we call the carbon atom at the front “proximal carbon” and the carbon atom at the back “distal carbon”.Figure 01: A Newman Projection of Butane...
