Video transcript

Hey everyone, we're asked to give the structure of 33 dimethyl hexane L. Looking at our suffix, we have that A. L. Which tells us that we have an all day hide. And because we have that prefix of hex, this tells us that we have a six carbon AL to hide. Now let's go ahead and look at our substitute prints were told that we have a dime ethyl on our third carbon. So this means we have two methyl groups On the 3rd carpet. So let's go ahead and draw this out. Starting with our AL to hide. We know that this is going to be at the terminal end And we have a six carbon al to hide and going to our third carbon. This is where we draw out two methyl groups stepping from it. So this is going to be our final structure for 33 dimethyl hexane L. So I hope that made sense. And let us know if you have any questions.
