Winter 2014 Q6E/F
This question asks to draw the lowest and second lowest energy conformation Newman diagrams for 3-chloro-4,4,4-trihydroxy-3-methylbutanenitrile looking down the C2-C3 bond axis. Can someone please explain the arrangements? I understand why it's staggered, but not where to put everything.

The most stable has the largest substituents anti.
The next most stable has the largest substituents gauche.
See the butane example we did in class (and in the course reader).
