Propose structures that meet the following descriptions:
(a) Two isomeric esters with the formula C5H10O2
Increased substitution around a bond leads to increased strain. Take the four substituted butanes listed below, for example. For each compound, sight along the C2–C3 bond and draw Newman projections of the most stable and least stable conformations. Use the data in Table 3-5 to assign strain-energy values to each conformation. Which of the eight conformations is most strained? Which is least strained?
(a) 2-Methylbutane
(b) 2,2-Dimethylbutane
(c) 2,3-Dimethylbutane
(d) 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane
Give IUPAC names for the following alkanes, and convert each drawing
into a skeletal structure.

How many isomers are there with the following descriptions?
(a) Alcohols with the formula C3H8O
Malic acid, , has been isolated from apples. Because this compound reacts with 2 molar equivalents of base, it is a dicarboxylic acid .
a) Draw at least 5 possible structures
b) If malic acid is secondary alcohol what is its structure?
