Draw structures corresponding to the following IUPAC names:

(b) 3-Ethyl-4,4-dimethylheptane

In the next chapter we’ll look at cycloalkanes—saturated cyclic hydrocarbons—and we’ll see that the molecules generally adopt puckered, nonplanar conformations. Cyclohexane, for instance, has a puckered shape like a lounge chair rather than a flat shape. Why?

Question: Sight along the C2-C3 bond of 2,3-dimethylbutane, and draw a Newman projection of the most stable conformation.
