Water

Ester

Amine

Alcohol

51
Q

Why is SYN eclipsed less stable than eclipsed?

A

This is because if pitzer strain which is repulsion between the negative electrons in the eclipsing bond
Steric strain which is repulsion between groups in close proximity

52
Q

Why is axial conformation less stable than equatorial

A

This is because of 1,3 diaxial interactions
