Chapter 9, Problem 9.14YT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For each product in equation $\text{9-42 and 9-43}$, all of the alkyl groups that are attached to the alkene group are to be circled, and degree of alkyl substitution is to be specified.

Concept introduction:

Alkyl group attached with a double bonded carbon atom represents the substitution in alkene.

In case of a monosubstituted alkene, one carbon substituent is attached to the carbon atom of the double bond.

In case of a disubstituted alkene, two carbon substituents are attached to the carbon atoms of the double bond.

In case of a trisubstituted alkene, three carbon substituents are attached to the carbon atoms of the double bond.
