Chapter 7.SE, Problem 23VC
Interpretation Introduction

a)

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 7.SE, Problem 23VC , additional homework tip  1

Interpretation:

The skeletal structure of the compound given in the model is to be drawn and the stereochemistry of the double bond to be assigned as E or Z.

Concept introduction:

The isomer that has the higher ranked groups on each carbon on the same side of the double bond is said to have Z configuration. If the higher ranked groups are on the opposite sides, the alkene is said to have E configuration.

In skeletal structures the carbon and hydrogen atoms are not usually shown. Instead carbon atoms are assumed to be at each intersection of two lines and at the end of each line. Hydrogen atoms required are fitted mentally having in mind the valence of carbon is four. Atoms other than carbon and hydrogen are shown.

To draw:

The skeletal structure of the compound given in the model and to assign the stereochemistry of the double bond as E or Z.
