Question

Draw and name the simplest hydrocarbon that could form cis/trans stereoisomers.

Answer 1

Solution.

CIS-TRANS isomerism is characteristic of alkenes, alkadienes and cycloalkanes. The simplest hydrocarbon, that is, a hydrocarbon with a minimum number of carbon atoms, is butene-2 (belongs to the class of alkenes). Isomers:
