What is the difference between the R/ S designation and d/l designation of chiral compounds? Identify each chiral molecule among those shown below Define the terms geometric isomerism and optical isomerism and give an example of each.
The geometric isomerism is also referred to as cis/trans isomerism. This isomerism differs in the ligand's arrangement that takes place in octahedral geometry and square planar geometry.Answer and Explanation: Cis and trans are the types of prefixes used to depict the arrangement of groups in ...
Citral (3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal) is a mixture of geranial and neral (two acyclic monoterpene aldehydes that are geometric isomers) and is considered an important raw material in the fragrance, pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. Geranial is the trans-citral and has a strong lemon...
