Chapter 7-Alkenes: Structure And Reactivity Flashcards
Alkane formula
C(n)H(2n+2)
Using the formula
C14 H23 CL4 N
H23 - 1(from N) + 4(from Cl) = H26
C14 H2 x 14 + 2 = 30
H30-H26 = 4
4/2=2 UN
Unsaturated
Fewer hydrogens
Saturated
More hydrogens
Halogens involved with finding the unsaturated number
Add
Oxygens involved with finding the unsaturated number
Ignore
Nitrogens involved with finding the unsaturated number
Subtract
Naming alkenes
- Identify longest chain with double bond
- Number the carbons starting with side closest to double bond
- Write full name
H3C=CH-CH=CH3
1,3-butadiene
Or
Buta-1,3-diene
Z configuration
Zame Zide
E configuration
Opposite sides
Peaks
Transition states
Primary
Carbon on the end
Secondary
Carbon attached to two carbons/R groups
Tertiary
Carbon attached to three carbons/R groups
T or f?
A Less highly substituted carbonation is more stable
F. Highly is more stable
Stability order. Most to least
Tertiary, secondary, primary, methyl
Cis-trans identification
Look at carbons on each end of the double bond and see if they are attached to two different groups. If they are attached to two of the same groups, they cannot be identified as Cis-trans.
E-Z configuration
- Look at carbons on each side of double bond
- Assign high/low priority to groups on each carbon
- Two lows on zame zide is Z, two lows on opposite sides in E
