Another example of this is the relationship between oleic acid and elaidic acid; oleic acid, the cis isomer, has a melting point of 13.4 °C, making it a liquid at room temperature, while the trans isomer, elaidic acid, has the much higher melting point of 43 °C, due to the straighter trans isomer being able to pack more tightly, and is solid ...
See: cis–trans isomerism. cis (left) and trans (right) configured double bond in maleic acid and fumaric acid. cis (left) and trans (right) isomerism in a ring system. The descriptors cis (lat. on this side of) [2] and trans (lat. over, beyond) [3] are used in various contexts for the description of chemical configurations: [4] [5]
Traditionally, double bond stereochemistry was described as either cis (Latin, on this side) or trans (Latin, across), in reference to the relative position of substituents on either side of a double bond. A simple example of cis–trans isomerism is the 1,2-disubstituted ethenes, like the dichloroethene (C 2 H 2 Cl 2) isomers shown below. [7]
In biochemistry, cis-trans isomerase is a type of isomerase which catalyzes the isomerization of geometric isomers. Examples include retinal isomerase and immunophilins such as cyclophilin . External links
The Kurnakov test, also known as Kurnakov's reaction, is a chemical test that distinguishes pairs of cis- and trans-isomers of [PtA 2 X 2] (A = NH 3, X = halogen or pseudohalide). Upon treatment with thiourea , the trans -dihalides give less soluble white products, whereas the cis -dihalides give more soluble yellow products.
The cis isomer exclusively yields cis,trans-hexa-2,4-diene whereas the trans isomer gives the trans,trans diene: [2] This reaction course can be explained in a simple analysis through the frontier-orbital method : the sigma bond in the reactant will open in such a way that the resulting p-orbitals will have the same symmetry as the HOMO of the ...
The methyl groups off carbons 1 and 3 are trans with respect to each other, while the methyl group off carbon 2 has undefined stereochemistry, allowing it to be either cis or trans with respect to methyl 1 or 3. [2] Each carbon atom within the cyclopentane ring is sp 3 hybridized with the theoretical C-C-C bond angles near 108 degrees.
Possible isomers of cyclooctene. Cyclooctene is the cycloalkene with a formula C 8 H 14. Its molecule has a ring of 8 carbon atoms, connected by seven single bonds and one double bond. Cyclooctene is notable because it is the smallest cycloalkene that can exist stably as either the cis or trans stereoisomer, with cis-cyclooctene being the
