So Z resembles “cis” and E resembles “trans” . (Note: they are not necessarily the same and do not always correlate: see footnote for an example of a cis alkene which is E .
How do you know if an alkene can exist as a stereoisomer?
Basic IUPAC Organic Nomenclature
As we have already described, alkenes with two different substituents at each end of the C=C can exist as a pair of stereoisomers. The alkene can only exist as stereoisomers if R1 is not equal to R2 AND R3 is not equal to R4.
How do you calculate diastereomers?
If n=4 , 2n−2=24−2=16 – 2=14 (14 diastereomers). For example, D-glucose has 4 chiral carbons, so there are 16 aldohexoses (8 D and 8 L). L-Glucose is an enantiomer of D-glucose, and the other 14 aldohexoses are diastereomers of them.
