Question: Draw 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexamethylcyclohexane with all the methyl groups (a) in axial positions. (b) in equatorial positions. If your cyclohexane rings look

Draw 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexamethylcyclohexane with all the methyl groups
(a) in axial positions. (b) in equatorial positions. If your cyclohexane rings look awkward or slanted when using the analytical approach just shown, then try the artistic approach:* Draw a wide M, and draw a wide W below it, displaced about half a bond length to one side or the other. Connect the second atoms and the fourth atoms to give the cyclohexane ring with four equatorial bonds.
Draw 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexamethylcyclohexane with all the

The other two equatorial bonds are drawn parallel to the ring connections. The axial bonds are then drawn vertically.
