The configuration of each of the given compounds as Z or E, is to be written. Concept Introduction: > Alkenes are assigned E or Z configuration depending on the orientation of the groups attached to the double bonded carbon atoms. > The priority of the groups attached to each double bonded carbon atom is defined on the basis of the Cahn–-Ingold–-Prelog sequence rules. > The atomic numbers of the atoms which get directly attached to the double bonded carbon atoms are compared. The atom having the higher atomic numbers gets a higher priority.If the atomic numbers are the same, then the next atoms attached to them are compared and priorities are assigned. > When the groups with the higher priority are on the same side of the double bond, the alkene is said to have Z configuration.When the groups with the higher priority are on the opposite side of the double bond, the alkene is said to have E configuration.

UV Visible Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy refers to the absorption or emission of light or other radiations by matter. When a substance or chemical absorbs light or radiation, they reach an excited state followed by de-excitation or emission of the light or radiation forming distinc…

Question

Chapter 7.4, Problem 7P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The configuration of each of the given compounds as Z or E, is to be written.

Concept Introduction:
>
Alkenes are assigned E or Z configuration depending on the orientation of the groups attached to the double bonded carbon atoms.
>
The priority of the groups attached to each double bonded carbon atom is defined on the basis of the Cahn–-Ingold–-Prelog sequence rules.
>
The atomic numbers of the atoms which get directly attached to the double bonded carbon atoms are compared. The atom having the higher atomic numbers gets a higher priority.If the atomic numbers are the same, then the next atoms attached to them are compared and priorities are assigned.
>
When the groups with the higher priority are on the same side of the double bond, the alkene is said to have Z configuration.When the groups with the higher priority are on the opposite side of the double bond, the alkene is said to have E configuration.
