Welcome back. Everyone can, the compound shown below exist as cran stereo isomers if it can draw both stereo isomers showing only the bonds from branching. First of all, what we're going to do is consider the given a LK and we want to focus on the double bond because we are interested in Crans stereo isomerism. First of all, we're given the scal structure. So let's add the implicit hydrogen atoms. And as we can see those hydrogen atoms are essentially on opposite sides relative to the double bond. So we're going to draw those hydrogens on opposite sides and we're going to consider those as branches or each of the double bonded carbons. Now, the other subscriptions are isopropyl substations. We want to draw 12 carbons, right? Or basically carbon with two metal groups attached to it. So that specific carbon at the tertiary position has one hygen. So that'll be C and then we have C three or H three C two times, right? So Chch 32 times, that would be our left side. On the right side, we have exactly same isopropyl substitute. So C ch 32 times. Now, can this structure exhibits this trans stereoisomerism. The first condition is to make sure that every double bonded carbon has two different substitutions. On the left, we have two different substitutions, isopropyl and hydrogen, which is also true on the right side. And now this means that the structure can exhibit this trans stereoisomerism. And the drone stereo eer is trend in configuration because the LK groups are on opposite sides relative to the double bond. Right. We can see that the Isopro groups are opposite to each other relative to the double bond or basically the hydrogen atoms are opposite to each other. And as we already understand, thesis eamer would simply mean that the two alkyl substituents are on the same side of the double bond. So we can easily modify the structure by swapping hydrogen with isopropyl on one of our double bonded carbons. Let throw the iso purple subscription above the double bond and hydrogen below. So we can clearly see that now the tlk groups are on the same side of the double bond. And that would be the cis stereo isomer that said we have got the two stereo for this problem. Thank you for watching.
