Question

draw the structural formula for 1,3,5-trichlorocyclohexane

Answer 1

Hard to do on here! It is a 6 membered ring with alternating CH and CH2 groups. On each CH there is a Cl.

if it works:

CHClCH2CHClCH2CHClCH2

The question does not give an indication as to the stereochemistry. If you make a model you will see that it is possible for the Cls to be above or below the ring. Hence there are a number of possible 1,3,5-trichlorocyclohexanes.

Answer 2

omg that was it! I was missing the extra H on the Cl points. Thank you SO much!

I am also trying to draw another one..but I will post it into a separate question in case others need to see that as well.

Thanks again!!!
