Moin,

Generally, this means only that here is given a possibility whereby the C atom from which the waves originate can be connected. In this case, therefore, with a methyl group (-CH3) and a hydrogen atom (–H). However, there could be further CH between the methyl group2A further methyl, ethyl, propyl group may be bonded instead of the hydrogen atom.

Apparently, only the molecular range with the conjugated C=C double bond is relevant here (the remainder is not so important)…

It’s more like writing R1 and R2. Really confusing.

I guess that’s what this version and the ones are meant by swapped CH3/H. Know such a snake of sugars in ring form if you do not want to settle on alpha or beta form.
In this case (E/Z fna cis/trans), however, a slight transition is not possible so that the representation is rather confused.
