Draw Newman projections of the following molecules viewed from the direction of the blue arrows.
(b)

Use a Newman projection about the indicated bond to draw the most stable conformer for each compound.

b. 3,3-dimethylhexane about the C3―C4 bond

Convert each Newman projection to the equivalent line–angle formula, and assign the IUPAC name. g.

(h)

Convert each Newman projection to the equivalent line–angle formula, and assign the IUPAC name.

(a)

(b)

Draw a Newman projection, similar to Figure 3-25 down the C1—C6 bond in the ­equatorial conformation of methylcyclohexane. Show that the equatorial methyl group is also anti to C5. (Using your models will help.)
