The conformations of \(n\) -butane, commonly known as eclipsed, gauche and anti-conformations can be interconverted by
- A rotation around \(C-H\) bond of a methyl group
- B rotation around \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}\) bond of a methylene group
- C rotation around C1-C2 linkage
- D rotation around C2-C3 linkage
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) rotation around C2-C3 linkage
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The conformation of \(n\) -butane, commonly known as eclipsed, gauche and anti-conformations can be interconverted by rotation around C2-C3 linkage. Hence, the option (d) is correct answer.
