Chapter 6, Problem 16E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason for no Z or E form for 1-butene unlike 2-butene needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Based on IUPAC rules, the geometric isomers of alkene are named as cis or trans depending on the arrangement of groups. Here, the longest chains of carbon atoms are considered. But in case the chain is not long and is between two carbon molecule, and E-Z system comes to play which is based on CIP sequence rules. Here, the rules are based on priority. This comes to apply when the cis-trans system cannot be applied.

Requirement 3: Consider the structure of 1-bromobutane. If compare the structures of BrCH₂CH₂CH₂CH3 and CH3CH₂CH₂CH₂Br, they look different. Sometimes, we are given two identical structural formulas that are drawn differently, and we must recognize they are identical and classify them accordingly. In other words, two compounds with the same molecular formula may not be isomers; they may be the same compound. Thus, when we encounter two compounds with the same molecular formula, we must determine if the molecules represent the same compound or isomers. Consider 1-bromobutane written as BrCH₂CH₂CH₂CH3 and as CH3CH₂CH₂CH₂Br. If you rotate one of the molecules by 180°, it will match atom-per-atom with the other molecule. Two compounds are identical only if their molecules match atom-per-atom in three dimensions. When two molecules with the same molecular formula match atom-per-atom in three dimensions, they are superposable. Superposable means that, when one molecule is placed on top of…
