Chapter 3, Problem 3.45P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Bond configuration as cis or trans for each double bond in the given molecule is to be labeled.

Concept introduction:

Cis and trans configurations are possible if the exchange of two groups on one of the doubly bonded atoms results in a different molecule. Double bond can be assigned as cis or trans configuration if one non-hydrogen substituent is attached to each atom of the double bond. If the two non-hydrogen substituents are on the same side, the configuration is cis, and it is trans if they are on the opposite sides.
