How can I convert 3,3-dimethylhexane #C_3−C_4# bond from Newman projection to bond line notation?
1 Answer
Start with the Newman projection that represents the most stable staggered conformation of 3,3-dimethylhexane
This conformation will have two ethyl groups in anti position and gauche interaction between two methyl groups * and one ethyl group*.
Let's determine the groups that are attached to the
The
Now, in order to start placing these groups on the ir respective carbons, you must first draw the bond line notation for the parent chain, hexane
Notice that the two ethyl groups situated in the plane of the page are already attached to the
Now for the
This will be the final form for the bond line notation of 3,3-dimethylhexane.
