What is Z in IUPAC naming?
Answer (1)
If each substituent ranked 1 is at the same side of the pi bond, the bond is given the descriptor Z (quick for German Zusammen, which means “together”). If each substituent ranked 1 is on the opposite side of the pi bond, the bond is given the descriptor E (quick for German Entgegen, which means “opposite”).
