Question

Find total number of Geometrical isomerism of following compounds. has x geometrical isomers has y geometrical isomers has z geometrical isomers What is the value of x + y + z ?

TestHub · Accepted Answer

First compound (CH₃-CH=CH-CH=N-OH) : the C=C bond and the C=N bond of the oxime are each stereogenic, so x = 2 x 2 = 4.

Second compound (1,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane) : all three CH₃ on the same side, or two on one side and one on the other, so y = 2.

Third compound (1,2-dimethylcyclohexane) : cis and trans, so z = 2.

x + y + z = 4 + 2 + 2 = 8.

Ans. 8
