Chapter 5, Problem 5.15P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The aspect of alkene that cannot be determined by ozonolysis is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Stereochemistry is defined as the arrangement of molecule in three dimensional spaces and its impact on chemical reactions.

The use of prefix $E$ and $Z$ depends upon the location of the higher priority groups. When two higher priority groups are present on the opposite side then it is an $E$ isomer, whereas when two higher priority groups are present on the same side then it is an $Z$ isomer. The priority order depends upon the atomic number of the elements.
