Alkene geometry[edit]
The reaction as drawn appears to be balls. The hydrogens must be coplanar and the double bond shown is definitely cis. Any other thoughts? OcelotIIX (talk) 21:17, 18 January 2009 (UTC) My bad, wasn't thinking carefully enough. OcelotIIX (talk) 21:19, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- Changed it to right structure (same as in literature) Chemiker88 (talk) 21:34, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- Looks good! The alkene really is a bit twisted (there are actually two enantiomers, represented in the paper using wedge/dot bonds for the H off the alkene) but it really does need to start out looking trans. DMacks (talk) 21:46, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah i know that. In this case i looked it up and in doi:10.1021/ja8001919 it's just like i draw it (wdge/dot bonds are only drawn if it's a trans-cycloocetnol), there are also other possibilities to draw this, but in this case i trust in Prof. Fox, as he is an expert in this.

Physical properties[edit]
The physical properties of cis vs trans isomers need clarification. The figures in the chem box are for cis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.38.163.188 (talk) 19:29, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
