The structure shown below is that of the E-isomer of tripolidine, an antihistamine (the E-isomer is more active than the Z-isomer in this capacity): (a) (b) H₂C- +² H Explain how the Cahn Ingold Prelog sequence rules can be used to rank groups in order of priority, using the four groups attached to the C=C double bond in tripolidine as illustrations. Based on the order of priority of the four groups determined in part (a) of this question, explain why the isomer of tripolidine shown above is defined as the E-isomer. (c) In general terms, explain why this isomer might have different effects in the human body from its geometric isomer.
