Solutions to E/Z Nomenclature Exercises

This page provides the solutions to the E/Z isomerie übungen (E/Z isomerism exercises) presented on the previous page. It offers a comprehensive list of correct names for each compound, demonstrating the proper application of E/Z nomenclature.

Highlight: The solutions showcase the correct use of E/Z designations for various structural complexities, reinforcing the principles of e z isomerie priorität (E/Z isomerism priority).

Example: The solution "(3Z,5Z)-3,4-dimethyl-5-propylocta-3,5-dien" illustrates how to name a compound with two double bonds, each requiring its own E/Z designation.

Definition: E configuration (E-Konfiguration): In E/Z isomerism, the configuration where the higher priority groups are on opposite sides of the double bond.

Definition: Z configuration (Z-Konfiguration): In E/Z isomerism, the configuration where the higher priority groups are on the same side of the double bond.

The solutions cover a range of structural types, including:

• Simple alkenes with single E or Z designations
• Dienes and polyenes with multiple E/Z designations
• Compounds featuring both alkene and alkyne functionalities
• Molecules with various substituents, including halogens and alkyl groups

These solutions serve as a valuable reference for students learning to apply E und Z Konfiguration (E and Z configuration) principles to complex organic structures. They provide clear examples of how to correctly name compounds using the E/Z system, which is essential for describing the spatial arrangement of atoms in molecules with double bonds.
