Chapter 7.6, Problem 10P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas and IUPAC names of all the alkenes having the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}$ and containing a trisubstituted double bond are to be written.

Concept Introduction:

>

Isomers, which have the same connectivity but differ in the arrangement of atoms in space, are called stereoisomers.

>

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.

>

Degree of substitution of an alkene depends on the number of carbon atoms directly attached to the double bonded carbon atoms.

>

Trisubstituted double bonds have three carbon atoms directly attached to the $\text{C=C}$.
