Geometric Isomerism

Medium

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Medium of Chemistry

Consider two organic compounds, A and B, both with the molecular formula C4H8, which exhibit geometric isomerism between them. Compound A is an alkene that has two methylene groups (CH2) in a cis arrangement and two additional carbon atoms that are not included in these groups. Compound B, on the other hand, is an alkene that has an ethylene group (CH2CH2) and a methylene group (CH2) in a trans arrangement, with the remaining two carbon atoms also not included in any of these groups. Knowing that cis-trans isomerism occurs only in alkenes with different ligands on the double carbons and that the cis and trans arrangements are exclusive to each compound, identify the structural formula of each compound A and B and justify your answer based on the concepts of geometric isomerism and the information provided about the cis and trans arrangements of the methylene and ethylene groups in each compound.

Nitro compounds are organic compounds that have one or more nitro groups (NO2) directly attached to a carbon atom of an alkyl or aryl group. They are commonly used as explosives due to their ability to rapidly decompose and release gases. Considering the IUPAC nomenclature rules for nitro compounds, answer: a) What is the correct nomenclature for the compound CH3CH2NO2? b) Write the molecular structure of 2,4-dinitrotoluene and identify the functional groups present in the molecule. c) According to the IUPAC rules, what is the name of the organic compound formed by substituting the three hydrogens of methane with three nitro groups?
