Chapter 5, Problem 5.20P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formula of at least one bromoalkene having the molecular formula is C5H9Br has to be drawn where the compound does not show E, Z isomerism and chirality.

Concept Introduction:

Alkene: Unsaturated hydrocarbons having at least one double bond between two carbon atoms are known as alkenes.

Geometric isomers: Two compounds are considered as geometric isomers of each other if both contains same number of atoms but different in their arrangement.

E configuration: The geometric isomers are given E configuration if high priority groups are placed on opposite sides of the double bond.

Z configuration: The geometric isomers are given Z configuration if high priority groups are placed on same sides of the double bond.

Chirality: It refers to a Carbon atom in a molecule that contains four different substituents.
