Chapter 6, Problem 21E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The configurational isomer of the compound containing alkene that is named using Z or E nomenclature needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction :

The compounds are named as E-Z based on analysis of the groups at the end of double bond. The naming is done as per the CIP rules wherein the highest priority gets its preference meaning the highest atomic number groups gets is preference.

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

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The nature of the molecule that falls out of the cis/trans naming scheme and comes under the E/Z naming scheme needs to be described.

Concept Introduction :

The compounds are named as E-Z based on analysis of the groups at the end of double bond. The naming is done as per the CIP rules wherein the highest priority.

Compounds are named cis or trans based on the position of the identical group about the double bond.
