Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Given alkene whether has cis, trans isomerization has to be identified and if present, the structure of trans isomer has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
- • Name the main chain: Find the longest carbon chain and name the chain according to the number of carbon atoms it contains; is also the root name.
- • Number the carbon atoms in the main chain: The carbons are numbered, in which the substituents must get lowest possible numbers.
- • Identify the substituents, and number each: The number at where substituents are present has to be noted. The substituents written as prefix.
- • Write the names as a single word: Use the hyphen to separate the numbers from the different prefix; commas to separate numbers. If two or more different substituents are present, arrange them in alphabetical order. If two or more identical substituents are present, use prefixes di-, tri-, tetra-, but this particular prefix should not be used for alphabetizing purpose.
Alkene:
The systematic name of alkenes are written by replacing “ane” of
Trans configuration: In trans configuration, carbon atoms present in the main chain are placed on opposite sides of the carbon-carbon double bond.
Cis configuration: In cis configuration, carbon atoms present in the main chain are placed on same sides of the carbon-carbon double bond.

- Fill in the whole tablearrow_forwardAmong alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbons, onlyalkenes exhibit cis-transisomerism. Why don’t the others?arrow_forwardWhat is cis-trans isomerism in alkenes? cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having the major groups in an alkene on the same or opposite side of the double bond cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having different or identical substituents at the both ends of the double bond cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having the major groups in an alkene in staggered or eclipsed conformations cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves different location of double bond along the carbon chainarrow_forward
- 1. Although there is only one alkene with the formula C2H4 (ethene) and only one with the formula C3H6 (propene), there are several alkenes with the formula C4H8. Draw all of the possible bond line structures for alkenes with the formula C4H3 including all possible structural and stereoisomers.arrow_forwardo When an alkene has multiple groups bonded to the main parent chain, how do we start counting the carbons along the main chain? For example, number the longest continuous carbon chain in the structure below:arrow_forwardAn alkene having 7 carbon atoms has Molecular formula and its name is O C;H14, heptene O C7H14, hexene C7H16, heptane O GH12, heptynearrow_forward
- Line-bond structures appear to imply that there are two different isomers of 1,2-dibromobenzene, one with the bromine-bearing carbon atoms joined by a double bond and one with the bromine-bearing carbons joined by a single bond. In fact, though, there is only one 1,2-dibromobenzene. Explain. H H. C. Br H. .C. Br || || .C and 1,2-Dibromobenzene Br Brarrow_forwardInterconversion of the staggered and eclipsed conformations of alkanes requires rotation around a -C bond such as the one depicted below (see arrow). Using your knowledge of bonding, explain why these rotations do not significantly affect the energy (strength) of these bonds. You may find it helpful to describe the type of bond being rotated.arrow_forwardDistinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active. Explain.arrow_forward
