Chapter 26, Problem 64E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The name of following molecule with appropriate stereochemical designation should be determined:

Concept introduction:

Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with double covalent bond between carbon-carbon atoms. On the basis of groups bonded with the double bonded carbon atoms, alkenes can be classified as E and Z-configuration.

The E-configuration stands for anti-configuration, whereas, Z-configuration stands for same side configuration.

The determination of configuration is done on the basis of the atomic/molecular mass of the atoms/groups attached to double bonded carbon atoms. If both higher atomic/molecular mass atom/groups are placed at the same side, then it is said to be Z-configuration and in E-configuration, these groups will be at anti-position.
