Conversion to Line Drawings

Redraw each of the compounds shown on the left using "skeletal" or "line" structures.

Remember that methyl groups are shown as a simple line and that CH₂ groups are shown as a vertex. The bromine is shown attached to the tertiary carbon.

Remember that methyl groups are shown as a simple line and that CH₂ groups are shown as a vertex and that the chain can follow any contiguous path.

The ring can be shown flat, or in a "chair" conformation, which more closely matches the true shape of the molecule.

Remember that in a Newman projection, the front carbon (an ethyl group in this example) is shown as the intersection of bonds, and the back carbon is shown as a circle with the groups attached. Thus, this molecule has two ethyl groups, a methyl and a hydrogen attached to the back carbon.
