In the field of organic chemistry, cis isomers contain functional groups on the same side of the carbon chain whereas the functional groups are on opposite sides in trans isomers this type of isomerism can arise in both organic and. Alkenes of the type rchchr can exist as cis and trans isomers. If the the chlorine atoms are next to or adjacent each other, the isomer is called cis. Since alkynes show geometrical isomerism, alkynes can be reduced to give cis or trans alkene depending upon the nature of catalyst used. The presence of a double or triple bond restricts the bond rotation within a molecule, which can lead to cis trans isomerism. The cuso 4 played a significant role for the transcis stereoselectivity.

As with organic compounds, the cis isomer is generally the more reactive of the two, being the only isomer that can reduce alkenes and alkynes to alkanes, but for a different reason. Assigning stereochemistry vi e and z in alkenes alkenes can have multiple geometric isomers nonsuperimposable, nonmirror images if there are exactly two substituents and two hydrogens attached an alkene the isomer may be labeled as cisor trans. Cis means same side and trans means other side indicating the bonded direction of a substituent group which influences the molecules chemical properties.

The ringchain tautomerism observed in compound 68c provides an explanation for the existence of cis trans equilibria in the pyrazolidine derivatives 68, which are likely to involve openchain forms at concentrations so low as to preclude their detection. This is because there is restricted rotation of the double bond due to the pi bond which means they dont readily interconvert. The cisreaction more exothermic by 2 kcalmol because cis is less stable by 2 kcalmol note that both reactions are on the same absolute energy scale here, the product is the same, the cis.

Cistrans nomenclature describes the relative position of the substitutes, and does not provide a stereochemical description, as the e, z nomenclature, applicable only for the alkenes. Alkenes can be stereoisomeric even though this is slightly different than what we learn about enantiomers and diastereomers containing chirality centers. The separate existence of cis and trans isomers is possible only because of the high energy barrier of rotation around the double bond. Substituents on an alkene can also be either cis on the same side of the double bond or trans on opposite sides of the double bond.

The cistrans definition is unambiguous only when you have two different groups on one of the alkene carbons and the same two groups on the other carbon, as in but2ene then the two identical methyl groups are either cis or trans to each other, and the two identical hydrogen atoms are either cis or trans to each other the ambiguity comes from the definition of similar groups.
