Alkenes + Thermodynamics Flashcards
1
Q
RDS
A
- Slowest step
- Typically the formation of the C+
2
Q
ΔG
A
ΔH-TΔS
3
Q
-ΔG
A
- ΔH>0, ΔS<0
- Exergonic
- Keq >1 = Product Favored
- Products have less E than reactants
4
Q
Transition State
A
Partially Formed bonds
5
Q
Intermediate
A
Fully formed bonds
6
Q
Co-Planar
A
Any Sp2 carbon and any Sp3 or Sp carbon connected to an Sp2 carbon
7
Q
Heat of Hydrogenation
A
- Stability
- Small = most stable
- Large = unstable
8
Q
ΔG‡
A
- Transition state
- (ΔΔG‡= difference between transition states of 2 products)
9
Q
Regioselectivity
A
- Major and Minor products both form, but major forms more
- Most stable C+ is formed faster
