Question

1,3-Propanediol can form intramolecular as well as intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Draw a structure of 1,3-propanediol showing an intramolecular hydrogen bond.

Accepted Answer

well everyone's in this video we're trying to do is look at this molecule here and draw the structure of the compound with the hydrogen bonding interactions because it said that this molecule does have some sort of intra molecular hydrogen bonding. So what hydra bonding is first of all is when hydrogen bonds with either nitrogen auction or flooring which are very electro negative atoms. So I see here that we definitely do have options and we have hydrogen. So we know that any of these single bonds here. So this this this or this can go ahead and have free rotation so it can kind of twist and turn. However like we'll go ahead and do that so we can draw this hydrant interaction much much better. So of course this six member ring over here does not change because we have just double bonds, it cannot rotate at all so just have it like so but for this one of these will go ahead and actually draw and kind of switch its positions here and we'll just leave this one as is or if you change this one here and leave this analysis whatever you like. I just decided to go with the top. So what I'll do is still keep it shaped like this for the top appearance of the carbon Neil. We'll just have R. O. H. Group. Then we'll have a double bond auction and I said on the bottom of the that will keep it same um kind of position. So we'll have auction here, then we'll have an O. And we'll have an H. So specifically drill like this. So when I draw the hydrogen bond interactions in purple, we see that this form nicely. Like. So, so this right here is going to be a final answer for this. Problem is just that the structure of the compound has now the hydrogen bonding interaction showing more prominently, gonna highlight the hydrant bonding right over here. Alright, y'all. Thank you so much for watching.
