I just took an OChem midterm and we had to draw the resonance structures of a molecule. I'm trying to find that molecule so I can see if I did it right.
It looked like a cyclohexane with an O in it (in the ring) and an N in the ring too, a methyl group off the N, a double bond between two of the carbons in the ring and a positive charge on one of the remaining carbons.
I guess a better way to explain it would be if the N with the methyl group was #1 in the ring going clockwise #2=C #3=O #4=C #5=C #6=C+ with the double bond between C4 and C5.
Can anyone tell me what molecule this is and what the resonance hybrid and resonance forms are?
Thanks!!
