Q. Increasing order of stability among the three main conformations (i.e., Eclipse, Anti, Gauche) of 2-fluoroethanol is :

AIEEEAIEEE 2008

Solution:

HO —$CH_{2}$ — $CH_{2}$—F
Gauche conformation is comparatively more stable due to hydrogen linkage in between F and H (at O-atom), hence order is Eclipse, Anti (staggered), Gauche.
