Question

How do you draw the structure of methylcyclohexane?

Answer 1

Methylcyclohexane:

The chemical formula of the organic compound, methylcyclohexane is $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{11}$. It is branched into the group of saturated hydrocarbon.

Note: Refer the attached image for the structure of methylcyclohexane

Structure of methylcyclohexane:

• It is a monosubstituted cyclohexane because it has one branching through the attachment of single methyl group on one carbon of the cyclohexane ring.
• Being very toxic to the aquatic ecosystem, the methyl group of this compond in its axial position experiences a steric strain or steric crowding.
