Question #12 Answer:<br />

Due to the symmetry of the methyl group, rotation around the N-CH 3 bond does not alter the 3D<br />

Question #13 Answer:<br />

Both the far left and middle rotamers (trans and gauche rotamers) could be stabilized by an H-bond<br />

between the amine and hydroxyl groups.
