Question

Geometrical isomerism is prominently observed across $C=N$ systems. Which of the following analytical statements accurately describe GI in imines and oximes?

Answer: A,C,D

💡 Solution & Explanation

When examining the central $sp^2$ hybridized nitrogen, the lone pair is treated as an active "pseudo-atom" group occupying space. When naming unsymmetrical ketoximes, the reference is indeed the alphabetically preferred alkyl group. Formaldoxime lacks GI because the carbon atom is bonded to two identical hydrogen atoms. Imines are readily produced via the condensation of carbonyls with $NH_3$.
