## Educational Exercise: Newman Projections to Line and Wedge Structures

### Newman Projections

For each of the following Newman projections, convert them into a solid/dashed wedge representation of the specific conformer. Utilize the provided template that identifies the front and back carbons, which must be converted as marked. A hydrogen atom has been included as a reference. Ensure you add a hydrogen atom or alkyl group at the end of each remaining bond within the template.

#### Newman Projections:

- **Diagram a):** Displays a Newman projection with a methyl (CH₃) group on the front carbon and an ethyl (CH₂CH₂CH₃) group, a hydrogen (H), and another methyl (CH₃) group on the back carbon.
- **Diagram b):** Shows a Newman projection with a methyl (CH₃) group on the front carbon and an ethyl (CH₂CH₂CH₃) group, a hydrogen (H), and another methyl (CH₃) group on the back carbon in different positions.
- **Diagram c):** Has a methyl (CH₃) group on the front carbon and an ethyl (CH₂CH₂CH₃) group, a hydrogen (H), and another methyl (CH₃) group on the back carbon arranged differently.

The template depicts a 3D molecular structure with:

- **Back carbon:** Linked to substituents with solid and dashed lines indicating bond orientations.
- **Front carbon:** Linked with solid and dashed wedges for stereochemistry representation.

### Line Structures

Convert each Newman projection into a 'zigzag' line structure similar to one shown in exercise #2. Draw the longest chain of carbon atoms in a horizontal layout. Display substituents using solid/dashed wedges is not required.

#### Line Structure Conversions:

- **(a) Line structure:** Provide the linear representation of the first Newman projection.
- **(b) Line structure:** Provide the linear representation of the second Newman projection.
- **(c) Line structure:** Provide the linear representation of the third Newman projection.

*Note:* The exercise focuses on visualizing 3D molecular geometry changes between Newman projections and traditional skeletal formulas.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Information about newman projection

The convert a Newman projection to solid/dashed wedge, first we have to check the substituents that are present on left side of the Newman projection and that on the right side.

In newman projection formulas the group that is left is marked as that is away from us, which is denoted with a dashed wedge. In newman projection formulas the groups on the right are considered to be pointing towards us, which is denoted by a solid wedge.
