  4. TYPES OF STRAIN IN ORGANIC MOLECULES (SUMMARY) • Torsional Strain: The strain due to eclipsing of bonds at neighboring carbon atoms. Energy cost – about 1 kcal/mol for C-H --- C-H eclipse, or 1.3 kcal/mol for C-H --- C-CH3 eclipse. • Steric Hindrance: The strain due to repulsive interactions, when atoms or groups approach each other too closely. Energy cost – about 0.8 kcal/mol for C-CH3 --- C-CH3 gauche interaction. • NOTE: The C-CH3 --- C-CH3 eclipsed interaction is a cumulative torsionalstrain + sterichindrance!!! • Angle Strain: The strain due to expansion or compression of bond angles. Energy cost – varies, depending on the actual bond angle. Chapter 3: Conformations of Alkanes and Cycloalkanes
