Trans isomers properties

Sketch the molecules on graph paper to help in determining the atomic coordinates. This is the first use of molecular geometry, a property that will become increasingly important as we go on. At this stage, the geometries are approximate the difference, for example, between cis and trans isomer s is ignored. 

When two different substituents are attached to each carbon atom of the double bond, cis-trans isomers can exist. In the case of c T-2-butene (Fig. 1.11a), both methyl groups are on the same side of the double bond. The other isomer has the methyl groups on opposite sides and is designated as rran5--2-butene (Fig. l.llb). Their physical properties are quite different. Geometric isomerism can also exist in ring systems examples were cited in the previous discussion on conformational isomers. 

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. 

Chloroprene Elastomers. Polychloroprene is a polymer of 2-chloro-l,3-butadiene. The elastomer is largely composed of the trans isomer. There are two basic polymer types the W-type and the G-type. G-types are made by using a sulfur-modified process W-types use no sulfur modification. As a result, G-types possess excellent processing and dynamic properties, and tend to be used in V-belts. However, they have poorer aging properties than W-types. The W-types tend to be used in appHcations requiring better aging, such as roUs and mechanical goods (see Elastomers, SYNTHETIC-POLYCm.OROPRENE). 

Butadiene, the simplest conjugated diene, has been the subject of intensive theoretical and experimental studies to understand its physical and chemical properties. The conjugation of the double bonds makes it 15 kJ/mole (3.6 kcal/mol) (13) more thermodynamically stable than a molecule with two isolated single bonds. The r-trans isomer, often called the trans form, is more stable than the s-cis form at room temperature. Although there is a 20 kJ/mole (4.8 kcal/mol) rotational barrier (14,15), rapid equiUbrium allows reactions to take place with either the s-cis or r-trans form (16,17). 

Dichloroethylene consists of a mixture of the cis and trans isomers, as manufactured. The physical properties of both isomeric forms are Hsted ia Table 1. Biaary and ternary a2eotrope data for the cis and trans isomers are given ia Table 2. 

Compounds whose molecular compositions are multiples of a simple stoichiometry are polymers, stricdy, only if they are formed by repetition of the simplest unit. However, the name polymerization isomerism is applied rather loosely to cases where the same stoichiometry is retained but where the molecular arrangements are different. The stoichiometry PtCl2(NH3)2 applies to the 3 known compounds, [Pt(NH3)4][PtCU], [Pt(NH3)4][PtCl3(NH3)]2, and [PtCl(NH3)3]2[PtCl4] (in addition to the cis and trans isomers of monomeric [PtCl2(NH3)2]). There are actually 7 known compounds with the stoichiometry Co(NH3)3(N02)3. Again it is clear that considerable differences are to be expected in the chemical properties and in physical properties such as conductivity. 

Cis and trans isomers differ from one another in their physical and, to a lesser extent, their chemical properties. They may also differ in their physiological behavior. For example, the compound ris-9-tricosene...

A chiral complex is one that is not identical to its mirror image. Thus, all optical isomers are chiral. The cis isomers of [CoCl2(en)2 + are chiral, and a chiral complex and its mirror image form a pair of enantiomers. The trans isomer is superimposable on its mirror image complexes with this property are called achiral. Enantiomers differ in one physical property chiral molecules display... 

Of course, the trans isomer will give the opposite results the threo pair if the addition is syn and the erythro pair if it is anti. The threo and erythro isomers have different physical properties. In the special case where Y=W (as in the addition of Br2), the erythro pair is a meso compound. In addition to triple-bond compounds of the type ACsCA, syn addition results in a cis alkene and anti addition in a trans alkene. By the definition given on page 166 addition to triple bonds cannot be stereospecific, though it can be, and often is, stereoselective. 

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. 

Algae can be cultivated easily and quickly when compared to plants. They produce very high quantities of carotenoids compared to other sources (3.0 to 5.0% w/w on a dry weight basis). They contain both cis and trans isomers of carotenoids for high bioavailability and bioefflcacy, and also contain oxygenated carotenoids (xantho-phylls), which have greater bioactivity and better anticancer properties. The proteins from Dunaliella biomass can be utilized for bread and other products and whole cells can be utilized for animal, poultry, and fish foods because they are safe. ... 

The same inversion occurs in the case of the trans isomer . Changes in conformational properties when passing from the neutral to the corresponding radical anion is a recent and well-documented topic in conformational analysis ". ... 

On the other hand, in order to preserve the cold properties of the fuel (Cloud Point, Pour Point and low-temperature filterability), it is mandatory not to increase the melting point, that in turn depends on both the saturated compound (stearic acid, C18 0) content and the extent of cis/trans and positional isomerization as the difference in melting point between the cis and trans isomer is at least 15°C according to double bond position as shown in Table 1.

The physical properties of cis-trans isomers are different they have different melting points, boiling points, and so on. 

It becomes quite clear from the above results that there are two types of donors that can affect the catalytic properties of the Rh catalyst. First, there are the weaker donors (p a -5 to -2) which are effective in improving the reaction rate but ineffective in increasing the stereoselectivity toward the formation of the trans isomer of 1,4-hexadiene. Second, there are the stronger (p ACa -2 to 0) donors which can enhance both the...
