Question
Increasing order of stability among the three main conformations (eclipse, anti, gauche) of 2 - fluoroethanol is(a) eclipse, gauche, anti(b) gauche, eclipse, anti(c) eclipse, anti, gauche(d) anti, gauche, eclipse
Step 1
In 2-fluoroethanol the gauche staggered form is further stabilized by an intramolecular O–H···F hydrogen bond, making gauche more stable than anti. Show more…
