Geometric isomers trans

The isomer distribution of the nickel catalyst system in general is similar qualitatively to that of the Rh catalyst system described earlier. However, quantitatively it is quite different. In the Rh system the 1,2-adduct, i.e., 3-methyl-1,4-hexadiene is about 1-3% of the total C6 products formed, while in the Ni system it varies from 6 to 17% depending on the phosphine used. There is a distinct trend that the amount of this isomer increases with increasing donor property of the phosphine ligands (see Table X). The quantity of 3-methyl-1,4-pentadiene produced is not affected by butadiene conversion. On the other hand the formation of 2,4-hexadienes which consists of three geometric isomers—trans-trans, trans-cis, and cis-cis—is controlled by butadiene conversion. However, the double-bond isomerization reaction of 1,4-hexadiene to 2,4-hexadiene by the nickel catalyst is significantly slower than that by the Rh catalyst. Thus at the same level of butadiene conversion, the nickel catalyst produces significantly less 2,4-hexadiene (see Fig. 2).

The compound [Pt(NH3)2Cl2] was first prepared In 1845 by two different synthetic routes. The a form of the compound (known as Peyrone s salt) was made by the reaction of [PtC ] " with NH3, while the / form (also called Resiet s second chloride) resulted when [Pt(NH3)4]Cl2 was heated to 250 °C. Many years later, Alfred Werner showed that the two compounds were isomers of each other and suggested that they had square planar molecular geometries. Currently, we know the a form as the anticancer drug cisplatin, c/s-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2], and the form as its geometrical isomer trans-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2].

As in all double-bond situations, the adjacent chain sections can be either cis or trans-structures [XV] and [XVI], respectively-with respect to the double bond, producing the following geometrical isomers ... 

Maleic and fiimaric acids have physical properties that differ due to the cis and trans configurations about the double bond. Aqueous dissociation constants and solubiUties of the two acids show variations attributable to geometric isomer effects. X-ray diffraction results for maleic acid (16) reveal an intramolecular hydrogen bond that accounts for both the ease of removal of the first carboxyl proton and the smaller dissociation constant for maleic acid compared to fumaric acid. Maleic acid isomerizes to fumaric acid with a derived heat of isomerization of —22.7 kJ/mol (—5.43 kcal/mol) (10). The activation energy for the conversion of maleic to fumaric acid is 66.1 kJ/mol (15.8 kcal/mol) (24). 

When additional substituents ate bonded to other ahcycHc carbons, geometric isomers result. Table 2 fists primary (1°), secondary (2°), and tertiary (3°) amine derivatives of cyclohexane and includes CAS Registry Numbers for cis and trans isomers of the 2-, 3-, and 4-methylcyclohexylamines in addition to identification of the isomer mixtures usually sold commercially. For the 1,2- and 1,3-isomers, the racemic mixture of optical isomers is specified ultimate identification by CAS Registry Number is fisted for the (+) and (—) enantiomers of /n t-2-methylcyclohexylamine. The 1,4-isomer has a plane of symmetry and hence no chiral centers and no stereoisomers. The methylcyclohexylamine geometric isomers have different physical properties and are interconvertible by dehydrogenation—hydrogenation through the imine. 

Table 3 fists cycloaliphatic diamines. Specific registry numbers are assigned to the optical isomers of /n t-l,2-cyclohexanediamine the cis isomer is achiral at ambient temperatures because of rapid interconversion of ring conformers. Commercial products ate most often marketed as geometric isomer mixtures, though large differences in symmetry may lead to such wide variations in physical properties that separations by classical unit operations are practicable, as in Du Font s fractional crystallisation of /n t-l,4-cyclohexanediamine (mp 72°C) from the low melting (5°C) cis—trans mixture. 

The cis and trans forms of 1,2-dimethylcyclopropane are stereoisomers. Stereoisomers are isomers that have then- atoms bonded in the sane order—that is, they have the sane constitution, but they differ in the anangernent of atoms in space. Stereoisomers of the cis-trans type are sometimes refened to as geometric isomers. You learned in Section 2.18 that constitutional isomers could differ in stability. What about stereoisomers ... 

Where unidentate ligands are present, the ability to effect the resolution of an octahedral complex (i.e. to separate 2 optical isomers) is proof that the 2 ligands are cis to each other. Resolution of [PtCl2(en)2] therefore shows it to be cis while of the 2 known geometrical isomers of [CrCl2en(NH3)2] the one which can be resolved must have the cis-cis structure since the trans form would give a superimposable, and therefore identical, mirror image ... 

Isoprene can be polymerized using free radical initiators, but a random polymer is obtained. As with butadiene, polymerization of isoprene can produce a mixture of isomers. However, because the isoprene molecule is asymmetrical, the addition can occur in 1,2-, 1,4- and 3,4- positions. Six tactic forms are possible from both 1,2- and 3,4- addition and two geometrical isomers from 1,4- addition (cis and trans) ...

Because a double bond between two carbons prevents the carbons from rotating, isomers involving the atoms bonded to the carbons are possible, as shown above with dichloroethylene. Such isomers are called geometrical isomers, in contrast to the structural isomers discussed previously. When the substiuent groups are on the same side of the molecule, the compound is designated the cis- isomer. When the substituent groups are on the opposite side, the compound is the trans- isomer. Like all isomers, cis- and trans-isomers have the same molecular formula, but differ in certain physical and chemical properties. For example, cw-l,2-dichloroethylene boils at 60°C whereas 1,2-dichloroethylene boils at 48°C.
