Can I read Cis-Trans and EZ Isomerism on EtoBox?

Cis-Trans and EZ Isomerism by jbiochemist is a document available to read on EtoBox.

What is Cis-Trans and EZ Isomerism about?

The document explains cis-trans and E/Z isomerism in alkenes, highlighting that the C=C double bond restricts rotation, leading to geometric isomers. It details the requirements for geometric isomerism, the older cis-trans nomenclature, and the more universal E/Z system based on Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules. Several worked examples illustrate the application of these concepts, emphasizing that geometric isomers have distinct physical properties.
