Newman Projections - By The Organic Chemistry Tutor
00:00 | in this lesson , we're going to focus on drawing | |
00:03 | Newman projections of certain molecules and we're going to discuss | |
00:08 | the relative stability of those molecules . So let's go | |
00:11 | ahead and start with Methane Ch three , Ch 3 | |
00:16 | . So how can we draw the newly projection along | |
00:18 | the C1 C2 bond ? The first thing I would | |
00:21 | like to do is expand this structure . So the | |
00:31 | first carbon which will call c . one , it's | |
00:35 | attached to three hydrogen atoms . So to draw the | |
00:41 | newman projection draw circle And at the center this is | |
00:45 | going to represent C1 which is in the front and | |
00:48 | so it's attached to three hydrogen atoms now behind it | |
00:56 | , which we can't see as carbon too , and | |
00:58 | it's also Attached to three other hydrogen atoms . So | |
01:03 | this is the staggered confirmation of ethane . Now , | |
01:09 | one thing we could do is rotate The C1C2 bond | |
01:13 | such that this hydrogen is directly behind that one , | |
01:17 | so it's gonna be eclipse in it . So there's | |
01:20 | two ways in which you can draw the human projection | |
01:24 | of I think you can draw it like this . | |
01:27 | So this is the staggered confirmation or you can draw | |
01:33 | the eclipse confirmation . Which one do you think is | |
01:37 | more stable ? The staggered confirmation ? Or the eclipse | |
01:42 | confirmation . The hydrogen is in the back . I'm | |
01:45 | going to try and read . You need to understand | |
01:55 | that the staggered confirmation is more stable , then eclipsed | |
02:04 | . And the reason for that is this interaction where | |
02:07 | the hydrogen czar eclipse in each other , there's two | |
02:10 | additional strength and so this confirmation is going to be | |
02:14 | higher in energy . So this is the less stable | |
02:16 | confirmation . And on the left we have the more | |
02:20 | stable staggered confirmation . Now let's move on to our | |
02:27 | next example . So let's draw the Newman projection of | |
02:31 | butane along the C two , C three bond . | |
02:36 | So first let's draw carbon too and carbon to be | |
02:40 | now attached to carbon too , which is this carbon | |
02:44 | right here , it has a method group on the | |
02:47 | left And it's ACH two . So it has to | |
02:50 | other hydrogen atoms attached to it . Now , carbon | |
02:55 | three , which is this carbon , I'm going to | |
02:57 | highlight that one in blue . It's also attached to | |
03:00 | two hydrogen atoms and the method group . And so | |
03:05 | we need to draw everything around This C two C | |
03:09 | 3 bond . So now let's draw a new projection | |
03:14 | . I'm going to draw a smaller version this time | |
03:17 | . So this is going to be carbon to which | |
03:19 | I'm going to highlight in red this red dot . | |
03:22 | So carbon two is in the front and carbon too | |
03:26 | has a hydrogen , another hydrogen . And the method | |
03:29 | group , I'm going to place the first method group | |
03:32 | at the top And then the other two hydrogen Now | |
03:38 | Carbon three , which is in the back . It | |
03:40 | also has to hide regions And one Method Group . | |
03:44 | So I'm going to place this method group at the | |
03:47 | bottom and these hydrogen on this side . So this | |
03:52 | is a staggered confirmation . But it has a specific | |
03:56 | name called an anti confirmation . It is the most | |
04:00 | stable of the four human projections of beating . The | |
04:04 | reason for that is because the method groups are so | |
04:09 | far apart , you want to keep them as far | |
04:11 | apart as possible . And so this is the anti | |
04:14 | confirmation of beauty . The diet federal angle between these | |
04:19 | two method groups Is 180 . Now let's try the | |
04:25 | other confirmations of beauty . So I'm going to keep | |
04:31 | the first method group at the talk . I'm not | |
04:34 | going to change the opposition . Now , the second | |
04:38 | method group , we can put it right here and | |
04:41 | so the other hydrogen will be around it . And | |
04:45 | so as you can see we don't have the eclipse | |
04:47 | confirmation yet . This is still another type of staggered | |
04:49 | confirmation . However , this particular confirmation is known as | |
04:54 | the guy ouch confirmation or the garage confirmation And a | |
05:00 | diet federal angle between the two mafia groups is 60°. | |
05:06 | . Now there is some steer extreme when the method | |
05:09 | groups are close to each other And so whenever you | |
05:12 | have this couch interaction , when it's 60° apart , | |
05:16 | you're gonna have this steering interaction . So therefore the | |
05:20 | couch confirmation is less stable than the anti confirmation . | |
05:25 | This is gonna be number one , meaning it's the | |
05:27 | most stable , this is number two is the second | |
05:29 | most stable . Now there's two types of eclipse confirmation | |
05:33 | that we can draw the first one which I'm going | |
05:42 | to show and red the hydrogen hydrogen eclipse the method | |
05:48 | group and we have this method group eclipse in the | |
05:50 | hydrogen . So this is the third most stable confirmation | |
05:59 | and then in the least stable confirmation The two method | |
06:10 | groups eclipse each other . Now think of the sun | |
06:16 | or the moon eclipsing the sun , the moon could | |
06:19 | completely block out the sun and that's what's happening here | |
06:23 | . The white mother group is eclipsing the red metal | |
06:26 | group . So technically you should not be able to | |
06:28 | see the red metal group , it should be like | |
06:30 | directly behind the white method group . So this is | |
06:35 | called totally eclipse . It's the least stable of the | |
06:39 | four confirmations of butane . Now let's go over the | |
06:43 | angles for each one . So going back to the | |
06:47 | gods confirmation , If you notice the angles between the | |
06:51 | muscle groups is 60° or if you go in the | |
06:54 | other direction It's 300 , so there's two angles that | |
06:58 | corresponds to this confirmation 60 and 300 . Now for | |
07:07 | The eclipse confirmation number three Notice that the methods are | |
07:12 | 120° apart . Or if you count in the other | |
07:15 | direction there are 2 40 degrees apart . Because to | |
07:18 | 40 plus 1 20 Adds up to 360 . And | |
07:23 | for the last one It's 0° apart 0° in 3 | |
07:27 | 60 . They're the same . Now the reason why | |
07:30 | I mentioned that is because when drawing the potential energy | |
07:33 | diagram you can see how it relates to each other | |
07:59 | . So this angle Is the 0° angle Here . | |
08:04 | This is gonna be 60 and then 1 20 And | |
08:11 | then this is 1 80 , 2 40 And then | |
08:18 | 300 And then back to 360 . So the anti | |
08:25 | confirmation is the one with the lowest energy on the | |
08:29 | Y axis . We have potential energy on the X | |
08:32 | axis is the diet your angle so recall that the | |
08:36 | anti confirmation which we said was the most stable . | |
08:39 | It had a die . He'd roll angle of 180 | |
08:41 | and so it has the lowest energy . So this | |
08:44 | was structure number one the most stable . The Second | |
08:48 | One was number two and number two was the guardian | |
08:53 | of action . And it had a die . He'd | |
08:55 | roll angle of 60 and 300 which we saw on | |
09:00 | the previous page . And then structure number three was | |
09:05 | the eclipse confirmation . Which ? All right . E | |
09:08 | for eclipsed and had two angles 1 22 40 which | |
09:13 | we see here . And the instruction number four . | |
09:16 | That was the least stable . So it has the | |
09:18 | highest potential energy and it had a diet hydra angle | |
09:22 | of zero . Established a total eclipse structure or totally | |
09:26 | eclipsed rather And zero and 36 year the same . | |
09:30 | So you could see where they're located on this potential | |
09:33 | energy diagram . So as a potential energy increases the | |
09:38 | stability of the molecule , decreases highly stable molecules . | |
09:44 | Have low potential energy and unstable molecules have high potential | |
09:48 | energy . So that's it for butane . Less shrub | |
09:53 | in human projection of let's say 23 dimethyl , panting | |
10:02 | , so feel free to pause the video and try | |
10:04 | that and identify which of those Newman projections . This | |
10:09 | could be many . Which one is the most stable | |
10:12 | out of the ones you can draw . So first | |
10:15 | let's draw a line structure . So here we have | |
10:17 | plantain and then we have a method on carbon two | |
10:20 | and three . And also I need to specify that | |
10:24 | when he said draw the Newman projection along the C | |
10:26 | two , C three bond . So this is Ch | |
10:32 | tree . And then we have a CH and then | |
10:35 | another CH . Three . And then it's a Ch | |
10:40 | CH three , Ch two Ch stream . Mhm . | |
10:49 | So this is carbon too . And this is carbon | |
10:53 | dream . So carbon to has uh has to method | |
10:57 | groups and it has a hydrogen . So here's the | |
11:07 | first method group on carbon too . Here's the 2nd | |
11:11 | 1 . And then here is the hydrogen . Now | |
11:16 | for carbon three , it too has a hydrogen a | |
11:20 | method group , but it also has an ethyl group | |
11:24 | . So let's put that in the back . So | |
11:27 | here is the method group , here's the hydrogen and | |
11:33 | here is the ethnic group . So what other Newman | |
11:40 | projections can we draw of this molecule Of 2 , | |
11:46 | 3 , dimethyl panting . So this is carbon one | |
11:51 | . Carbon to has a method group . Carbon 3's | |
11:54 | behind it , which also has a method group . | |
11:57 | And then here's four and 5 . So we have | |
12:00 | a total of seven carbon atoms . So let's redraw | |
12:11 | this stuff around carbon to the two method groups with | |
12:15 | the hydrogen . Now another staggered confirmation that we can | |
12:20 | draw is we can put this ethnic group where this | |
12:24 | method group is and so that's gonna give us Now | |
12:28 | . Are these to stagger confirmations that I'm drawn right | |
12:32 | now ? Or the the two that I have on | |
12:35 | the board are these two the same ? Are they | |
12:37 | different notice that they are equivalent to each other because | |
12:42 | here we have a grouch interaction the same on this | |
12:45 | side and there's another couch interaction between the method and | |
12:48 | the method . So as you can see these two | |
12:51 | structures are identical . However , we could create a | |
12:55 | different structure if we place a method group here and | |
13:03 | then the ethnic group here . So that's a different | |
13:10 | staggered confirmation in our original structure . We had one | |
13:17 | method method gouge interaction in the new structure . We | |
13:21 | have to method method . Oh gosh interaction . And | |
13:26 | in the old structure we had one methyl ethyl got | |
13:29 | interaction . But in new structure we have Just one | |
13:33 | methyl ethyl gadget of action . So in this new | |
13:35 | structure we have a total of three got interactions in | |
13:38 | the original one we have to . So this structure | |
13:42 | here is less stable than this one . Now , | |
13:45 | let's see if we can draw another staggered newman projections | |
13:51 | . Mm Because I think we can and we can | |
13:55 | do so if we put the ethel between the two | |
13:58 | methyl groups and let's put the method here . So | |
14:05 | this time we only have one method method got interaction | |
14:10 | . But now we have to method ethel's gouge interactions | |
14:15 | . And because ethel is bulkier than method , it | |
14:19 | stands to reason that an ethyl methyl gouging of action | |
14:22 | has more energy than a method method gatun of action | |
14:26 | . So therefore this is going to be number one | |
14:28 | , the most stable Staggered confirmation that we can draw | |
14:32 | . This is going to be number two , And | |
14:34 | this is going to be number three the least stable | |
14:36 | of all the staggered confirmations that we can draw based | |
14:40 | on the idea that an ethyl methyl interaction has more | |
14:44 | starik strain . Then a method method interaction . Now | |
14:52 | let's draw the eclipse confirmations . Mhm . So let's | |
15:12 | start With this part 1st and I'm going to begin | |
15:17 | by eclipse in the method groups together . Let's make | |
15:36 | this an ethnic group and then this is going to | |
15:40 | be the other hydrogen . Mhm . Now let's try | |
15:46 | the next structure . So here we have an H | |
15:55 | . H . Eclipse interaction . So now let's put | |
15:59 | a method group next to the hydrogen . So that's | |
16:02 | gonna be different . Let's keep the ethnic group on | |
16:07 | this side . If we put the ethnic group here | |
16:10 | is the same as putting it here because the tomb | |
16:12 | ethnic groups are the same . Now , the only | |
16:15 | other different structure that we can draw is we can | |
16:19 | put the ethyl group next to the hydrogen that will | |
16:31 | be different than the first two . and then one | |
16:33 | hydrogen has to be with one of the other method | |
16:37 | groups . And the other method group has to be | |
16:38 | there too . Now I'm going to leave it up | |
16:41 | to you to rank the stability of these three eclipse | |
16:45 | confirmations . But just to get you started , it's | |
16:48 | good to know that whenever you have two hydrogen atoms | |
16:51 | eclipse to each other , The original strain energy values | |
16:55 | about four kg promote and when the hydrogen eclipses a | |
16:59 | methyl group , It's about six kg promote whenever you | |
17:06 | have two method groups , eclipse in each other , | |
17:09 | The energy value is 11 . So we have enough | |
17:12 | information to compare these two molecules because these two interactions | |
17:18 | between a method and the ethnic group did the same | |
17:21 | . So we don't have to take that into account | |
17:23 | . So for the two remaining groups , This has | |
17:27 | a total energy profile of 12 . And for this | |
17:31 | one it's 15 . Not taken the ethyl methyl interaction | |
17:36 | into account . So because the structure on the right | |
17:39 | has a higher potential energy value , we could say | |
17:42 | it's less stable . Then the structure on the left | |
17:47 | . So the structure on the left is going to | |
17:48 | be more stable . Now I'll leave it up to | |
17:53 | you to the research to determine how this molecule compares | |
17:57 | to the other two . So you need to determine | |
18:01 | the energy value between um ethel and the hydrogen . | |
18:06 | I mean ethel and hydrogen and also ethel . And | |
18:09 | a method in order to answer that question . Now | |
18:12 | let's work on some practice . Two examples . Number | |
18:15 | one draw the most stable confirmation of two method butane | |
18:20 | along the C two , C three bonds . Feel | |
18:24 | free to pause the video and try this example . | |
18:28 | So let's start with the line structure . Have to | |
18:31 | Metal beauty . So first we're gonna drop you teen | |
18:34 | and then we have a method group on carbon too | |
18:40 | . So this is carbon to and this is carbon | |
18:42 | three . Now let's throw everything else that's attached to | |
18:46 | those two carbons . So on carbon to . We | |
18:49 | have another method group and is a hydrogen Keeping my | |
18:53 | carbon can only form four bonds . Carbon three has | |
18:57 | a method group attached to it , but it has | |
19:00 | to hide students . So let's draw our first name | |
19:04 | projection . So we're gonna have carbon to in front | |
19:09 | . We have our first meta group and then we | |
19:13 | have another method group to the left and then the | |
19:17 | hydrogen . Mhm . So here are the three things | |
19:22 | that we've added . So now to the back carbon | |
19:25 | Or carbon three , we're gonna add these three groups | |
19:29 | . So I'm going to start by putting the method | |
19:31 | at the bottom and the other two hydrogen atoms here | |
19:35 | . So notice that in this particular confirmation of two | |
19:39 | method butane We only have one gouge interaction With an | |
19:44 | energy profile of 3.8 kg promote . Mm . Now | |
19:50 | let's try another one . Let's see what other new | |
19:53 | projections that we can draw . So we can compare | |
19:57 | it to our first example . Mhm . So the | |
20:00 | first street groups , I'm gonna keep it the same | |
20:04 | . Let's put this method group here . Yeah . | |
20:11 | And then we can place the other two hydrogen atoms | |
20:16 | . So notice that we have to go chain of | |
20:18 | actions . So the energy profile for this particular confirmation | |
20:23 | , it's going to be 3.8 plus 3.8 , Which | |
20:26 | is 7.6 . Killing jews promote so far . We've | |
20:40 | placed the mother group in this position and in this | |
20:43 | one let's see what happens if we put it there | |
20:46 | . Yeah . So if we put it towards the | |
20:49 | right , the other hydrogen atoms have to go any | |
20:52 | other position . So we only have one couch interaction | |
20:57 | . In fact , these two confirmations are the same | |
21:01 | . So those are all of the stable staggered confirmations | |
21:04 | that we can draw . We know that the eclipse | |
21:07 | confirmations will be less stable . So we're not going | |
21:09 | to draw them . The one that is the most | |
21:11 | stable is the one with the lowest potential energy . | |
21:15 | So therefore this particular confirmation of two method . Butane | |
21:19 | is the most stable . So this is our answer | |
21:23 | number two . Consider the following confirmations of Butane . | |
21:27 | What is the energy barrier between the totally eclipsed confirmation | |
21:32 | and the anti confirmation of Butane . Now the energy | |
21:36 | profile for the anti confirmation which is on the left | |
21:42 | . Mhm . Is basically zero . We don't have | |
21:45 | any gout interactions and there's no staggered or I mean | |
21:49 | there's no eclipse interactions . So that's the energy profile | |
21:56 | . Now on the right we have the totally eclipse | |
21:59 | confirmation . So what's the energy profile for that ? | |
22:04 | Based using the the table on the right , the | |
22:09 | table on the right gives us the correspondent potential energy | |
22:11 | for each grouping of action . So here we have | |
22:17 | two ch trees that are eclipsed to each other . | |
22:21 | So the energy value for that is 11 and then | |
22:26 | we have two hydrogen atoms Better eclipse as well . | |
22:31 | So the energy for each is four . So if | |
22:33 | we add 11 plus four plus four , That's going | |
22:36 | to be 19 . Yeah . So the difference between | |
22:44 | these two energies , it's going to be the energy | |
22:47 | barrier to rotation . So in order to rotate butane | |
22:55 | from its anti confirmation two , it's totally eclipsed confirmation | |
23:00 | . We need to put in 19 killer jewels of | |
23:03 | energy per mole to get it going . So that | |
23:06 | is the energy barrier to rotation to convert it from | |
23:09 | anti to the total eclipse confirmation . |
