Any organic chemists out there?

I’m kinda stuck on one of my homework questions…

I have to find all the compunds of cyclohexane with the forumula C[SIZE=“1”]9[/SIZE]H[SIZE=“1”]18[/SIZE].

All i’ve found is n-Propylcyclohexane , 1,1,2 Trimethylcyclohexane, and Isopropylcyclohexane.

Did I miss any, I dont fully understand how to find these… so I’m kinda trying random things till they work :)?

Edit: is tert-Butalcyclohexane one?

Edit2: found 2 more… 1,2,3 Trimethylcyclohexene and Ethyl-2Methylcyclohexen

If I remember my stuff (which is unlikely), you can have:
[LIST]
[]an unreasonable amount of arrangements of trimethylcyclohexane
[]propylcyclohexane
[*]all arrangements of methylethylcyclohexane[/LIST]That’s all I can think of, hopefully someone who remembers their stuff better can help you more.

:lol:

Glad to help 3D Nirvana, I just hope I’m right because I haven’t taken this stuff for a few months (which is long enough for me to forget). It would be nice to see the correct answers if you ever get them :slight_smile:

Well, on the street we call that opium… what do they teach you kids in school these days :lol:

couldn’t you just google the answer? or is google not smart enough for that? <— those are serious questions.

turns out there was 12 of them… lol i was a little off :slight_smile:
