Vedclass · Answer

(A) In $n$-butane,the conformations are generated by rotation around the $C_2-C_3$ bond. The stability order of these conformations is: $Anti$ (Staggered) $>$ $Gauche$ $>$ $Eclipsed$. The $Anti$ conformation is the most stable because the bulky methyl groups are at a distance of $180^{\circ}$ from each other,minimizing steric repulsion and torsional strain.

Which of the following conformations of $n$-butane is the most stable?
