YT2095 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 actualy I made a mistake and too far from the computer before I realised that: 3-Ethyl-4-methyl-pent-3-ene would lock it into trans. doesn`t actualy exist as the pent-3-ene, it could only ever be 1 or 2 in pentene. the rest of my post was ok though. ellaboration: 2,3 methylethyl pent-2-ene would be the locked Trans molecule, as drawn. as it stand it`s neither Cis nor Trans.
