Question

also, which is the most stable?

The configuration of the carbon bonded to the OH group in alcohol D is Input 1 for E configuration. Input 2 for Z configuration. Input 3 for R configuration. Input 4 for S configuration. Input 5 for no configuration Input the number that corresponds to the correct spatial relationship Input 1 for anti conformation. Input 2 for eclipsed conformation. Input 3 for gauche conformation. Input 4 for none. between the methyl carbon and the oxygen in structure B is between the tertiary hydrogen and the hydrogen bonded to carbon-1 (the carbon to which the hydroxy group is attached) in structure B is

Explanation / Answer

c) input 3 is correct. d) input 1 e) input 3 E is the most stable conformation since both methyl and OH at the equatorial position, decreasing the steric repulsion between them with neighboring H atoms.
