However as conformational isomers exist in dynamic equilibrium their individual properties cannot easily be studied so this sub-topic is really only concerned with configurational isomers. These were formally sub-divided into geometric and optical isomers but the use of the term geometric isomers is no longer recommended.</p><p>The <em>E/Z </em>system has been on the syllabi of some other pre-university level courses for a while now. Even so, it may be new chemistry to many IB teachers. It is actually quite easy to apply and depends on what are known as the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) rules for determining the priority of the atoms or groups attached to the two carbon atoms of the double bond. Each of these two carbon atoms on either side of the double bond is considered separately. In simple terms the higher the atomic number of the attached atoms to each carbon atom the higher the priority. Consider 1,2-dichloroethene. Chlorine has a higher atomic number than hydrogen so has a higher priority. If the two atoms/groups lie on the same side the isomer is <em>Z</em> and if they lie on opposite sides they are <em>E</em>. In this simple case <em>Z</em> is the <em>cis-</em> form and <em>E</em> is the <em>trans-</em> form.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Cl has a higher priority than H on the left hand side and on the right hand side.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="noborder" height="219" src="../../../ib/chemistry/images/Core%20and%20AHL/Organic/EZ1.jpg" width="540"></p><p>However <em>Z</em> does not always equate to <em>cis-</em>. If you consider 2-chloro-but-2-ene then the carbon atom of the methyl group has priority over the hydrogen atom on one side of the double bond but because chlorine has a higher atomic number than carbon the chlorine atom has priority over the methyl group on the other side of the double bond. Now the <em>cis-</em> isomer is the <em>E</em> isomer and the <em>trans-</em>isomer is the <em>Z</em> isomer.</p><p style="text-align: center;">CH<sub>3</sub>- has a higher priority than H on the left hand side and Cl has a higher priority than CH<sub>3</sub>- on the right hand side.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="noborder" height="213" src="../../../ib/chemistry/images/Core%20and%20AHL/Organic/EZ2.jpg" width="540"></p><p><em>E </em>and <em>Z</em> is more useful than <em>cis-</em> and <em>trans-</em> when the groups are all different. Consider 1-chloro-2-bromo-2-iodoethene. It is not obvious which would be the <em>cis-</em> and <em>trans-</em> forms. However using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules the <em>E</em> and <em>Z</em> forms can easily be determined.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Cl has a higher priority than H on the left hand side and l has a higher priority than Br on the right hand side.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="noborder" height="210" src="../../../ib/chemistry/images/Core%20and%20AHL/Organic/EZ3.jpg" width="540"></p><p>To help students it is worth them knowing the origin of <em>Z</em> and <em>E</em>. Both come from German words. <em>Z</em> is from <em><strong>z</strong>usammen</em> (together) and <em>E </em>is from <em><strong>e</strong>ntgegen</em> (opposite). However, if their German is not so good, one easy way to remember which is which is that <em>E</em> could stand for <strong>e</strong>nemy, and <strong>e</strong>nemies are on opposite sides.</p><p>You can read a very good explanation of this and what happens in the more complicated cases when different R groups are attached to the carbon atoms comprising the double bond on <a href="http://www.chemguide.co.uk/basicorg/isomerism/ez.html">Jim Clark&rsquo;s Chem Guide</a>.</p><hr class="hidden"></div></div><hr class="hidden"><div class="box"><h2 id="anchor-3">Nature of Science</h2><p>The three-dimensional shape of an organic molecule is fundamental to both its structure and properties.

Virtual models can be useful but when they appear on a flat screen they are still 3-D being represented in two dimensions.</span></span></p><p>Apart from knowing of its existence and why it occurs there is not very much that can be covered on conformational isomerism. It is probably worth getting students to make a 3-D model of butane and they can see how the two end methyl groups lie in different planes as the bond between the second and third carbon atoms is rotated. The isomers can be detected by infrared spectroscopy and the dynamics can be studied using NMR spectroscopy but this is beyond the syllabus.</p><p>Give students plenty of practice at labelling different alkenes according to whether they are the <em>E</em> or <em>Z</em> form and emphasise how using <em>E</em>/<em>Z</em> is superior to <em>cis</em>/<em>trans</em> and the fact that the <em>Z</em> form is not always the <em>cis</em> form (or the <em>E </em>form is not always the <em>trans</em> form).</p><p>Because there is a lot of human interest and it illustrates how profit can override ethical considerations it is worth students knowing about the thalidomide story to show the importance of enantiomers. Amino acids, 2-hydroxypropanoic acid and butan-2-ol are classic examples to use to illustrate chiral compounds but you can use many of the molecules given in Sections 33 and 37 of the data booklet as examples too. Make sure students can use the wedge and dotted line convention when making representations of enantiomers to show clearly mirror images.</p><p>It can be difficult to know how much to do on diastereomers. It is probably worth showing how they can arise and stress that they can have different physical and chemical properties.
