Chapter 4, Problem 54P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

E or Z configuration has to be identified for the given compounds.

Concept introduction:

Cistrans isomerism (or) geometric isomerism or configurational isomerism:

The two similar groups (or higher priority groups) are in same side in double bond of alkenes is called as cis isomer (or Z-isomer). Two similar groups (or higher priority groups) are opposite side in double bond of alkenes is called as trans isomer (or E-isomer).
