im lookin at an aromatherapy book with some pics of some alkenylbenzenes.....the one for myristicin looks like this:
(methylenedioxy 4-MeO-benzene)-CH2=CHCH2
it is my understanding that carbon makes 3 or 4 bonds yet this diagram shows the first carbon from the benzene ring making 5 bonds...the last carbon on the chain is only makin 3 bonds though.....
is this just some sloppy diagram drawin or is sumthin weird happenin????the diagrams for dill/parsley apiole where the same too :(
any help for a confused lil whore would be appreciated :)

That book must be in error, as in all but a few cases, carbons have four bonds.
The correct structure for myristicin (3,4-Methylenedioxy-5-Methoxy-1-Allylben
