Chapter 7: Q7-63E (page 219)

Retin A, or retinoic acid, is a medication commonly used to reduce wrinkles and treat severe acne. How many different isomers arising from double-bond isomerizations are possible?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There are 16 isomers of Retin A arising from double-bond isomerizations.

Step by step solution

01

Isomerizations

Isomerization is the process of the conversion of compounds into their isomeric forms.The number of isomers arising from double-bond isomerization is calculated using 2n, where n is the number of double bonds present in the compound.

02

Different isomers arising from double-bond isomerizations.

In Retin A, there are five carbon-carbon double bonds. The double bonds present in the ring cannot isomerize. So, Retin A can have 24=16 isomers, where four double bonds are present outside the ring.
