Chapter 3, Problem 3.46P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether two unique configurations about double bond are possible in the given compound is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

For a given double bond, cis and trans configurations are possible if the exchange of two groups on one of the doubly bonded atoms results in a different molecule. If one of the carbon atoms of the double bond has two identical atoms or groups attached, then that double bond will not have two distinct configurations. Two groups are cis to each other if they are on the same side of a double bond, and they are trans to each other if they are on opposite sides.

For a given molecular formula of a hydrocarbon, such as C6H14, draw the structural formulae of its different structural isomers. For a given structural isomer, be able to draw several diagrams that all represent the same isomer that has been transformed by (a) rotation of the whole molecule and/or (b) rotation around single covalent bonds
The average bond energy (enthalpy) for a C=CC=C double bond is 614 kJ/molkJ/mol and that of a C−CC−C single bond is 348 kJ/molkJ/mol. Estimate the energy needed to break only the ππ bond of the double bond of 2-butene. Express your answer numerically in joules per molecule.
Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid found in many vegetable oils, such as soy, peanut, and cottonseed. A key structural feature of the molecule is the cis orientation around its two double bonds, where R1 and R2 represent two different groups that form the rest of the molecule. (a) How many different compounds are possible, changing only the cis-trans arrangements around these two double bonds? (b) How many are possible for a similar compound with three double bonds?
