Chapter 7, Problem 7.16P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The explanation for the statement that a nonzero dipole moment supports a puckered structure of trans-1,3-dibromocyclobutane rather than a planar structure is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Conformation isomers are formed by the rotation about single CC bond while the atoms and connectivity remains the same. For cyclohexane, the most stable conformation is chair conformation in which all the carbon-hydrogen bonds are staggered.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The more stable conformation of trans-1,2-dimethylcyclobutane is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Conformation isomers are formed by the rotation about single CC bond while the atoms and connectivity remains the same. For cyclohexane, the most stable conformation is chair conformation in which all the carbon-hydrogen bonds are staggered.
