  2. Cis–trans isomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis–trans_isomerism

    These trends can be attributed to the fact that the dipoles of the substituents in a cis isomer will add up to give an overall molecular dipole. In a trans isomer, the dipoles of the substituents will cancel out [7] due to being on opposite sides of the molecule. Trans isomers also tend to have lower densities than their cis counterparts ...

  3. Gauche effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauche_effect

    The gauche effect is very sensitive to solvent effects, due to the large difference in polarity between the two conformers.For example, 2,3-dinitro-2,3-dimethylbutane, which in the solid state exists only in the gauche conformation, prefers the gauche conformer in benzene solution by a ratio of 79:21, but in carbon tetrachloride, it prefers the anti conformer by a ratio of 58:42.

  4. Azobenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azobenzene

    The trans isomer is more stable by approximately 50 kJ/mol, and the barrier to isomerization in the ground state is approximately 100 kJ/mol. Azobenzene photoisomerization. The trans form (left) can be converted to the cis form (right) using a UV wavelength of 300–400 nm. Visible illumination at >400 nm converts the molecule back to the trans ...

  5. 1,2-Dichloroethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,2-dichloroethylene

    The two compounds are isomers, each being colorless liquids with a sweet odor. It can exist as either of two geometric isomers, cis-1,2-dichloroethene or trans-1,2-dichloroethene, but is often used as a mixture of the two. They have modest solubility in water.

  6. Rotamer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotamer

    The trans isomer can attain antiperiplanarity only via the unfavored axial conformer; therefore, it does not eliminate. The cis isomer is already in the correct geometry in its most stable conformation; therefore, it eliminates easily.

  7. cis-3-Methyl-4-octanolide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis-3-Methyl-4-octanolide

    It exists in two optical isomers: 3R,4R ("+") and 3S,4S ("−"). The 3 S ,4 S isomer, commonly known as whisky lactone or quercus lactone is an important ingredient in the aroma of whiskey (where it was first identified by Suomalainen and Nykänen in 1970) and other alcoholic beverages that have been aged in oak barrels .

  8. 2-Pentanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Pentanol

    2-Pentanol (IUPAC name: pentan-2-ol; also called sec-amyl alcohol) is an organic chemical compound.It is used as a solvent and an intermediate in the manufacturing of other chemicals. 2-Pentanol is a component of many mixtures of amyl alcohols sold industrially. 2-Pentanol is chiral and thus can be obtained as either of two stereoisomers designated as (R)-(−)-2-pentanol and (S)-(+)-2-pentanol.

  9. Isomerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomerization

    In one isomer the CO ligands are terminal. When a pair of CO are bridging, cis and trans isomers are possible depending on the location of the C 5 H 5 groups. [7] Another example in organometallic chemistry is the linkage isomerization of decaphenylferrocene, [(η 5-C 5 Ph 5) 2 Fe]. [8] [9] Formation of decaphenylferrocene from its linkage isomer
