Hey guys,

For this question, how much the methyl group can't be on the 2 carbons on the left side of the ring? Or, one on top and the other one on the left? They would still be considered constitutional isomers right?

Thanks!

Can you please reword your question; I am not clear what you are asking. However, you are asked to draw constitutional isomers of the given compound. Essentially all you need to do is to place the methyl groups in the 1,1……1,2….1,3 positions always checking for cis trans isomers and stereoisomers as shown in the solution.

Hope this helps...

Hey Nancy, I thought it about it again, and noticed I read the question wrong :s But thank you so much again for the prompt reply!

how come you can't have the 2 methyl groups connected to each other (forming a ethyl substituent) and coming off a carbon on the ring?
