The all-cis isomer , a fully convex decagon, would have bond angles of 144°, which creates large amounts of angle strain relative to the ideal 120° in sp 2 atomic hybridization. Instead, the all- cis isomer adopts a planar boat-like conformation ( 2 ) to relieve the angle strain, [ 5 ] although it, too, is less stable than the next planar ...
Four isomers are known for 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene. The trans,trans,cis-isomer is a precursor in the production of nylon-12. The four isomers of 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene. Left to right: all-cis; all-trans; cis,trans,trans; and cis,cis,trans
Decene / d ɛ k iː n / is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 10 H 20. Decene contains a chain of ten carbon atoms with one double bond, making it an alkene. There are many isomers of decene depending on the position and geometry of the double bond. Dec-1-ene is the only isomer of industrial importance.
In larger rings (8 or more atoms), cis–trans isomerism of the double bond may occur. This stability pattern forms part of the origin of Bredt's rule , the observation that alkenes do not form at the bridgehead of many types of bridged ring systems because the alkene would necessarily be trans in one of the rings.
The descriptors cis (Latin, on this side of) [2] and trans (Latin, over, beyond) [3] are used in various contexts for the description of chemical configurations: [4] [5] In organic structural chemistry , the configuration of a double bond can be described with cis and trans , in case it has a simple substitution pattern with only two residues.
Cyclodecene is a cycloalkene with a ten-membered ring, with two possible geometric isomers, denoted cis-cyclodecene and trans-cyclodecene, or (Z)-cyclodecene and (E)-cyclodecene. References [ edit ]
One attractive feature of the Peterson olefination is that it can be used to prepare either cis- or trans-alkenes from the same β-hydroxysilane. Treatment of the β-hydroxysilane with acid will yield one alkene, while treatment of the same β-hydroxysilane with base will yield the alkene of opposite stereochemistry.
(Similar procedures can give cis,trans isomers of 1,4-cyclooctadiene and 1,5-cyclooctadiene). [2] In addition, a photochemical method exists for the direct cis–trans isomerisation. Although this equilibrium strongly favours the more stable cis form, the reaction can be driven towards the trans form by trapping with silver ions. [11] [12]
