Isomerism resulting from double bonds
- Assignment CIP system analogy : Z

Isomerism of monocyclic compounds
- Although rings containing more than 3 C atoms are
not planar, for the purpose of assigning cis/trans
isomeris, they are considered planar.
ring (same as C=C) prevent rotation (use CIP
rules)

Cis-Trans Isomerism in Cycloalkanes

The terms cis and trans should be used to specify
stereoisomeric ring structures
Recall that constitutional isomers have atoms
connected in different order

Conformations of Polycyclic Molecules
Decalin consists of two cyclohexane rings joined to share two carbon
atoms (the bridgehead carbons, C1 and C6) and a common bond
13
Conformations of Polycyclic Molecules
Two isomeric forms of decalin: trans fused or cis fused
In cis-decalin hydrogen atoms at the bridgehead carbons
are on the same face of the rings
In trans-decalin, the bridgehead hydrogens are on opposite
faces
Both compounds can be represented using chair
cyclohexane conformations
Flips and rotations do not interconvert cis and trans

2-UNSUBSTITUTED BRIDGES OF UNEQUAL LENGTH
27
Special Case = Norcamphor
Two bridges of equal length, but one of them bears a
substituent (C=O). This C=O makes the bridge
heavier and therefore it is used as reference. The
orientation of the substituen on the 3 rd bridge is closer
to the heavier bridge Endo. The orientation of the
substituen on the 3 rd bridge is away to the heavier
bridge Exo.
