Chapter 3, Problem 3.25P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The trans configurations of α-linolenic acid are to be drawn, and it is to be determined how many unique structures can be made by changing the cis and trans configurations about the double bond.

Concept introduction:

The double bonded carbon will have two distinct configurations if one atom of the double bond possesses two different atoms or groups attached to it. The substituent attached to the double bond determines the configurations of the molecule. If the two groups are attached to the opposite side of the double bond, it is known as trans configuration. If the two groups are attached to the same side of the double bond, it is known as cis configuration.
