Talk:Allylic strain

Dec. 2009 expansion

edit

Great expansion of this article, several remarks though:

  • Allylic strain is not a type of energy. It is a rotational barrier with a strain energy associated with it.
  • The reference to bisecting / eclipsed has disappeared in the new edit.

Geometric isomers instead of conformers

edit

The figure with the caption "A represents the conformation that would occur in most situations due to allylic strain. However, as shown in B a hydrogen bond can form that is energetically favorable and cancels the disfavorable allylic strain. Thus, B is the most stable conformation."...

is showing two different geometric isomers, instead of two conformers, correct? 203.198.31.157 (talk) 08:36, 22 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
