Title: Draw structure
Post by: gsel on January 21, 2014, 08:00:12 AM

This was a tough nut to crack: I am going to draw the structures of all monobromo derivatives of 2-methylpentane, C6H13Br, which have the bromine on a primary carbon.

2-methylpentane does not have the formula C₆H₁₃Br!

I copy-pasted the text out from my question..? Any suggestions to how it may be?

Draw 2-methylpentane. Identify the CH₃ groups replace one of these CH₃ hydrogens with Br and see what you get repeat for any other CH₃ groups you find.
