Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The double bonds in (E)-ocimene which can exhibit stereoisomerism are to be stated.

Concept introduction:If there are four different groups attached to a double bond, then it can exhibit stereoisomerism. If there are same groups attached to a double bond, then that double bond cannot show stereoisomerism.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:Diastereoisomer of (E)-ocimene is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:Diastereoisomers are the compounds which have non-superimposable non mirror images. Diastereoisomerism can occur when two or more stereoisomers differ in configurations at one or morestereocentres.
