From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Endo-exo isomerism is a special type of isomerism found in organic compounds with a substituent on a bridged ring system. The prefix endo is reserved for the isomer with the substituent located closest to the longest bridge. The prefix exo is reserved for the isomer with the substituent located closest to the shortest bridge. This type of molecular geometry is found in norbornyl systems such as dicyclopentadiene.
