Chemistry - GOC Question with Solution | TestHub

Identifying the $\alpha$-hydrogens from each adjacent group:

From the methyl group (–CH₃): 3 $\alpha$-hydrogens

From the ethyl group (–CH₂CH₃): 2 $\alpha$-hydrogens

From the cyclohexyl ring (–CH– connection): 1 $\alpha$-hydrogen

Total $\alpha$-hydrogens = $3+2+1=6$ contributing structures.
