8. Which of the following is the most stable staggered conformer? Me H OH Me Me OH Me OH Me H Conformer A OH HO H Conformer B OH H H Me Conformer C a. Conformer B because the anti OH groups avoid hydrogen bonding, which is a destabilizing effect. b. Conformer A because there are only two gauche interactions, and hydrogen bonding between the two OH groups is a stabilizing effect. c. Conformer C because there is no steric strain for Me-OH gauche interactions and hydrogen bonding between the two OH groups is a stabilizing effect. d. Conformer B because the large OH groups are anti to each other.

In the next chapter we'll look at cycloalkanesâ€”saturated cyclic hydrocarbonsâ€”and weâ€™ll see that the molecules generally adopt puckered, nonplanar conformations. Cyclohexane, for instance, has a puckered shape like a lounge chair rather than a flat shape. Why?
