Chapter 2, Problem 37PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The bond-line structures for vitamin A and vitamin C can be drawn by their given structure or structural formula.

Concept introduction:

In bond-line structure the carbon atoms and the hydrogen atoms which are attached to that carbon atom are not to show, rather the bonds in between carbon atoms and to the heteroatoms are drawn as line segments. For acyclic carbon chains it draws as in a zig-zag fashion and for cyclic chains of carbon it draws as a cyclic polygon. For representing a heteroatom attached to the carbon, use a line segment and label the heteroatom at the end of their line segment.

To draw: the bond-line structure of vitamin A and vitamin C from the given structural formula of them, use a line for each bonds between carbon atoms and heteroatoms and the label hetero atom alone.
