E/Z isomerism in organic compounds: Nomenclature and examples
This guide covers E/Z isomerie (E/Z isomerism) in organic chemistry, focusing on the nomenclature of alkenes and related compounds. It provides e z nomenklatur beispiele (E/Z nomenclature examples) and exercises to help students understand and practice e z konfiguration bestimmen (determining E/Z configuration).
Key points:
- E/Z nomenclature is used for geometric isomers of alkenes and related compounds
- The system is based on prioritizing substituents using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) rules
- E (entgegen) configuration: higher priority groups on opposite sides of the double bond
- Z (zusammen) configuration: higher priority groups on the same side of the double bond
- Compounds can have multiple E/Z designations for complex structures
