Chapter 6, Problem 20E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The configurational isomer of the structure given needs to be drawn and named and the reason for the ambiguity regarding naming it as trans or cis needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Configurational isomers are stereoisomers that have same molecular formula but cannot be converted through rotation about the single bond into another form.

The compounds naming of using E-Z system is based on analysis of the groups at the end of double bond. As per the CIP rules, the highest priority gets its preference which means the highest atomic number groups.

How do we distinguish between constitutional, configurational, conformational, and enantiomers?
How many asymmetric centers are in the molecule on the right?
Square planar molecules with formula AB2C2 and octahedral molecules with formulas AB4C2 and AB3C3 feature diastereoisomers. Recall that trigonal bipyramidal geometry features two distinct positions: axial and equatorial. Draw all diastereoisomers for trigonal bipyramidal molecules with formula (a) AB4C and (b) AB3C2. You must indicate the stereochemistry using full and dashed wedges and label all positions as either axial (ax) and equatorial (eq)..
