Question

How many structural isomers of C6H12 having 3 member ring?

Open in App
Solution

six possible substituted three-carbon ring structures:
1,2,3-trimethylcyclopropane,

1,1,2-trimethylcyclopropane,

1-ethyl-1-methylcyclopropane,

1-ethyl-2-methylcyclopropane,

propylcyclopropane

and

isopropylcyclopropane

These structures are drawn by drawing three carbons in a ring.

As before, the appropriate groups are attached at the appropriate carbons as numbered around the ring.

A CH3- group is drawn where methyl is found in the name, a CH3CH2- group when ethyl is found, CH3CH2CH2- for propyl and (CH3)2CH2- for isopropyl.
