Question
Using E/Z prefixes as appropriate, give the IUPAC name for each of the following compounds Please explain
The image displays two chemical structures labeled as (d) and (e). **Structure (d):** - The molecule features a five-carbon chain with a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms. - A chlorine (Cl) atom is attached to the second carbon, while a bromine (Br) atom is bonded to the first carbon. **Structure (e):** - This structure also contains a five-carbon chain with two double bonds. - A bromine (Br) atom is attached to the first carbon. - The first double bond is located between the first and second carbon atoms, and the second double bond is between the third and fourth carbon atoms. - Another bromine (Br) atom is attached to the fourth carbon. These structural diagrams are typical of organic chemistry representations, showcasing the connectivity and arrangement of atoms within each molecule.

Expert Solution
Step 1

If both the highest priority groups are on the same side then it is a Z-alkene i.e. cis 

If both the highest priority are on the opposite side then it is an E-alkene i.e. trans
