(a)
Interpretation:
The configurational isomer of the compound containing
Concept Introduction :
The compounds are named as E-Z based on analysis of the groups at the end of double bond. The naming is done as per the CIP rules wherein the highest priority gets its preference meaning the highest
Configurational isomers are stereoisomers that have same molecular formula but cannot be converted through rotation about the single bond into another form.
(b)
Interpretation:
The nature of the molecule that falls out of the cis/trans naming scheme and comes under the E/Z naming scheme needs to be described.
Concept Introduction :
The compounds are named as E-Z based on analysis of the groups at the end of double bond. The naming is done as per the CIP rules wherein the highest priority.
Compounds are named cis or trans based on the position of the identical group about the double bond.
