When a double bond has two identical groups (one on each vinylic position), we can use either

Question:

When a double bond has two identical groups (one on each vinylic position), we can use either cis-trans terminology or E-Z terminology:

trans or E


The configuration of this double bond can be designated as either trans or E. Both designations are acceptable. In most cases, cis = Z and trans = E. However, there are exceptions. For example:

CI


This compound is trans, but Z. Explain this exception, and then provide two other examples of exceptions.
