Q

when naming alkenes, how should you number the chain?

A

so that the double bond has the lowest possible number, then signify where the double bond is
(ex: either 2-pentene or pent-2-ene)

Q

what causes ring strain in cycloalkenes?

A
  • small ring
  • trans double bond
25
Q

Bredt’s Rule

A

bridged, bicyclic compound cannot have a double bond at a bridgehead position UNLESS one of the rings contains at least 8 carbon atoms

26
Q

physical properties of alkenes

A
  • low boiling points (increaded by high molecular weight and suface area)
  • less dense than water
  • nonpolar
27
Q

what increases an alkenes boiling point?

A
  • increased mass
  • decrease branching
28
Q

what is an elimination reaction?

A

they produce double bonded structures and a leaving group (that is often a halide)

29
Q

E2 Reaction: strong or weak nucleophile?

A

strong

30
Q

E2 Reaction: unsubstitutued or highly substituted leaving group?

A

highly substituted (want bulky)

31
Q

E2 Reaction: concerted to two-step?

A

concerted

32
Q

E2 Reaction: rate

A
  • bimolecular
  • k[Nu][RX]
33
Q

E2 Reaction: stereochemistry

A

anti-coplanar

34
Q

E2 Reaction: reactivity

A

3>2>1>Me

35
Q

E1 Reaction: strong or weak?

A

weak

36
Q

E1 Reaction: unsubstitutued or highly substituted leaving group?

A

highly substituted

37
Q

E1 Reaction: concerted or two step?

A

two step

38
Q

E1 Reaction: rate

A
  • unimolecular
  • k[RX]
39
Q

E1 Reaction: stereochemistry

A

doesn’t matter

40
Q

Elimination steps

A
  1. leaving group leaves
  2. solvent takes a proton and forms a double bond
41
Q

E1 rate limiting step

A

transition state

42
Q

Zaitsev’s Rule

A

if more than one elimination product possible, the most substituted alkene is the major product

43
Q

E2: Hofmann

A

Hofmann reaction

bulky bases cannot form the most stable because they cannot fit in the smaller spots, this will lead to a less stable product

44
Q

which is more stable, Zaitsev or Hofmann?

A

Zaitsev

45
Q

what does the stereochemistry need to be in order for an elimination reaction to occur?

A

LG and H need to be 180 degrees from each other (anti-coplanar) –> find the beta hydrogens

46
Q

examples of strong alkyl halides

A

EtO- , -OH , RSH, ZRS

47
Q

examples of weak alkyl halides

A

EtOH, H2O

48
Q

dehydration of alcohols produces what?

A

an alkene and H3O+

49
Q

dehydration of alcohols steps

A
  1. O will take an H
  2. H2O will leave and a positive will be created
  3. a H will be removed to form a double bond
50
Q

which reactions favor a strong base?

easier (3>2>1)

59
Q

the specific elimination mechanism depends on how easily the molecule will form a ______________

A

carbocation (3 and 2 make good carbocations)
