Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The E or Z configuration to the double bonds in neoprene is to be assigned. The stereoisomer of neoprene in which the double bonds have the opposite configuration is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The E or Z configuration of the double bonds is determined by prioritizing the groups attached to the carbon atoms of the double bond. The groups are prioritized on the basis of atomic number of their atoms. The group that contain atom with higher atomic number is given higher priority. When the groups with same priority are on the same side of the double bond the configuration is Z and when the groups are on the opposite side of the double bond then the configuration is E.

Predict the major products of the following organic reaction: NC Δ ? Some important Notes: • Draw the major product, or products, of the reaction in the drawing area below. • If there aren't any products, because no reaction will take place, check the box below the drawing area instead. • Be sure to draw bonds carefully to show important geometric relationships between substituents. Note: if your answer contains a complicated ring structure, you must use one of the molecular fragment stamps (available in the menu at right) to enter the ring structure. You can add any substituents using the pencil tool in the usual way. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. Х а
