Increasing order of stability among the ...

Increasing order of stability among the three main conformation ( i.e. Eclipse, Anti, Gauche ) of 2-fluoroethanol is `:`

A

eclipse, anti, gauche

B

anti,gauche, eclipse

C

eclipse, gauche , anti

D

gauche, eclipse , anti

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Because of intramolecular H-bonding , gauche conformation of 2-fluoroethanol is more stable than anti while ecliped conformation is the least stable. Thus, the increasing order of stability is :

Thus, option (a) is correct.
