Textbook Question
Chapter 4.SE, Problem 54AP
As mentioned in Problem 3-53, the statin drugs, such as simvastatin (Zocor), pravastatin (Pravachol), and atorvastatin (Lipitor) are the most widely prescribed drugs in the world.
(a) Are the two indicated bonds on simvastatin cis or trans?
(b) What are the cis/trans relationships among the three indicated bonds on pravastatin?
(c) Why can’t the three indicated bonds on atorvastatin be identified as cis or trans?
