06:24 PM / Remaining: 90 min. FULLS Question 4 The most stable conformation of 5-hydroxy-1,3-dioxane has the OH group in an axial position, rather than an equatorial position. Provide an explanation for this observation Ho 20 The OH group is smaller than a hydrogen atom, so it does not experience steric strain when axial. The oxygen atoms in the ring repel the OH group, making the axial conformation more stable. When the OH group is axial, the molecule is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding The OH group is polar so it does not experience 1,3-diaxial interactions By accessing this question Assistance, you will learn while you earn points based on the Point Potential policy set by your instructor ly Question Attempts of used SAV % Earn Maximum Points available only answer the question correctly in you Yachty 2009-2020 John Wichts Beserved.
