Chapter 4, Problem 65P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of alkenes showing cis-trans isomers for the given molecular formula has to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The general molecular formula CnH2n denotes alkene or cycloalkane compounds.

Cis-trans terminology is used for two non-similar groups attached alkenes and cycloalkanes.

If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in same side, then it is cis alkenes.

If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in opposite manner, then it is trans alkenes.

If the substituents attached on same sides of cycloalkane, then the compound is cis isomer.

If the substituents attached on opposite sides of cycloalkane, then the compound is trans isomer.

Draw the skeletal (bond-line) structures of all isomers of C4H8O (including configurational isomers) that contain an alkene and an ether. There should be 5 structures.
Which of these alkenes show cis-trans isomerism? For each that does, draw structural formulas for both isomers.
