Question
Question: Write dash formulae for the following bond line formula. A. represents a single C to C bond ; a double line (=) indicates a double C to C bond while a C to C triple bond is shown by a triple line (≡).
A.The first organic compound is Hex−3−one or 3−Hexanone. We can also say Ethyl propyl ketone. The molecular formula of this compound is: C6H12O The dash formula of this compound is:
B.The second organic compound is: 1−ethylhexane. The molecular formula of this compound is: C8H16. The dash formula of this compound is:
C.The third organic compound is: 3,4−dimethylpent−1−ene or The molecular formula of this compound is: C6H14. The Dash formula for this compound is:
D.The fourth organic compound is: 2−Butyn−1−olor 2−Butynol. The molecular formula of this compound is: C4H6O. The dash formula of this compound is:
Note:
Remember that the organic compound can be depicted in many ways like complete structure which is also known as dash formula, condensed structure which we say as molecular formula and bond line structure. The bond line formula is for drawing 2D organic structures. It doesn't give us any idea about whether the bond is directed inside the plane or outside the plane. However, bond line formulas can give us an idea about steric hindrance.
