How to draw protonated benzene (horseshoe) carbocation structure with ChemDraw? Is there a way to draw the aromatic "horseshoe" (forgot the official name) structure of a protonated benzene cation (arenium) with ChemDraw, and not the cation with double bonds?
Draw cyclohexane. Open Drawing Elements. Select 270o circle. Orient with lasso and adjust size. Insert in cyclohexane. Add H's and +.
ADDENDUM: For a centered structure. Draw cyclohexane, arc and + inside each other. Select them. Go to Object>align. Select L/R centered then T/B centered. Add hydrogens. See also Comments. PS: Clearly, ChemDraw does not recognize the structure as protonated benzene. Can't have everything ;).
