Lecture 8: Newman and Fisher Projections
KEY INFORMATION SUMMARY
PROBLEMS
Problem 8.1: Newman Projections
a. Convert the following Newman projections into bond-line drawings and indicate if any are duplicates (i.e. the same structure). SOLUTION
b. Convert the following bond-line drawings into Newman projections along the C2-C3 bond. Rotate your resulting projection to the lowest energy conformation. SOLUTION
