Chapter 23, Problem 23.80SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The classification of labeled carbon-carbon double bond in case of palmerolide into cis-, trans- or neither need to be done.

Concept introduction:

The cis-trans bond or E-Z bond is the bond in which the non-identical groups attached to the carbon-carbon double bond are either on the same side or are on opposite sides.

If the atom or group of atoms is on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond, they are called cis-double bond.

If the atom or group of atoms is on the opposite side of the carbon-carbon double bond, they are called trans-double bond.
