Question

A trisubstituted cyclohexane compound is given below in its chair conformation. Draw the corresponding planar (overhead) representation, using wedge-and-dash bonds to indicate the substituent positions. To be graded properly, include the hydrogen atoms on the chirality centers (asymmetric carbons). Be sure that both wedge/dash bonds are drawn on the outside of the ring, or else the stereochemistry may be interpreted as square planar.

Answer 1

@sharmar25 what is the compound's name

Answer 2

great, do you know what axial and equatorial mean?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

ok do you know how to go from chair form to the ring?

Answer 5

i do. I am having trouble with where the hydrogens go.

Answer 6

I will start by showing you how to go from chair form to the ring

Answer 7

Okay so the first thing, is that a dashed line means that the group is away from you, and a wedge means that the group is pointing straight at you.

Answer 8

When you have your chair form you MUST number the carbons

Answer 9

ok. I understand. this is what i have so far.

Answer 10

Number your carbons and draw the chair form like this. it is important to note whether the groups are up or down. up = wedge on your cyclohexane ring, down = dash
