The structure shown below is that of one of the geometric isomers (the E- isomer) of the antidepressant, Doxepin: C= CH₂CH₂N(CH₂)2 E-Doxepin Explain how the Cahn Ingold Prelog sequence rules can be used to rank groups in order of priority, using the four groups attached to the C=C double bond in Doxepin as illustrations. Based on the order of priority of the four groups determined in part (a) of this question, explain why the isomer of Doxepin shown above is defined as the E-isomer. In general terms, explain why this isomer might have different effects in the human body from its geometric isomer.

The German chemist Wilhelm Kӧrner (1839-1925) observed in 1974 that each of the three isomers of dibromobenzene, A, B, and C, gave a different number of tribromobenzenes upon further bromination, allowing him to assign their respective structures. Try to do the same and assign structures to A, B, and C based on the following results: A gives two tribromobenzenes in comparable amounts B gives three tribromobenzenes, one of them in minor quantities C gives only one tribromobenzene
