The configuration of the chiral centre and the geometry of the double bond in the following molecule can be described by

Options

A. R and E
B. S and E
C. R and Z
D. S and Z

Answer

C

Explanation

In the above compound, the configuration about the chiral carbon (`C^(*)`) is R.
Since the groups with higher priority marked as (a) are on the same side of the double bond and those with lower priority are on the other side, thus the geometry about the C= C double bond is Z .
