The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds is an E isomer, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Double Bond First, we need to identify the presence of a double bond in the compounds provided. E/Z isomerism occurs in compounds that contain a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C). ### Step 2: Assign Priorities to the Groups Attached to the Double Bond For each compound with a double bond, we will assign priorities to the groups attached to each carbon of the double bond. The Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules are used for this: - The group with the higher atomic number gets the higher priority. - If the first atoms are the same, we look at the next atoms in the chain until a difference is found. ### Step 3: Determine the Configuration After assigning priorities: - If the highest priority groups on each carbon of the double bond are on the **same side**, the configuration is **Z** (from the German "zusammen" meaning together). - If the highest priority groups are on **opposite sides**, the configuration is **E** (from the German "entgegen" meaning opposite). ### Step 4: Analyze Each Option Now, we will analyze each option provided in the question to determine which one has the E configuration: 1. **Option 1**: Check the priorities and their positions. 2. **Option 2**: Check the priorities and their positions. 3. **Option 3**: Check the priorities and their positions. 4. **Option 4**: Check the priorities and their positions. ### Step 5: Conclusion After analyzing all options: - If the highest priority groups are on opposite sides in one of the options, that option is the E isomer. ### Final Answer Based on the analysis, **Option 4** is the E isomer because the highest priority groups are oppositely attached. ---
