Question : Which of the following E, Z designations are correct, and which are incorrect ?

tert-Butyl [RCO2C(CH3)3] esters are converted into carboxylic acids [RC02H] by reaction with trifluoroacetic acid, a reaction useful in protein synthesis (Section 26-7). Assign E, Z designation to the double bonds of both reactant and product in the following scheme, and explain why there is an apparent change in double-bond stereochemistry:

Which member in each of the following sets ranks higher?
Trans-Cyclooctene is less stable than cis-cyclooctene by 38.5 kJ/mol, but trans-cyclononene is less stable than cis-cyclononene by only 12.2 kJ/mol. Explain.
Vinylcyclopropane reacts with HBr to yield a rearranged alkyl bromide. Follow the flow of electrons as represented by the curved arrows, show the structure of the carbocation intermediate in brackets, and show the structure of the final product.
