Solution 10P

Step 1 of 2:

Here, we are asked to identify if Tamoxifen is an E or a Z isomer.

In an isomer, if the high priority groups are placed on the same side of the double bond, then it is a Z-isomer and if the high priority groups are placed on the opposite side of the double bond, then it is an E-isomer.
