lecture 4 Flashcards
what does it mean when a compound is called a diene
it has 2 double bonds
what is an ordinary diene
a compound with 2 double bonds
what is a conjugated diene
a diene where the 2 double bonds are conjugated
aka single, double, single, double
whats a cisoid // s-cis diene
when the conjugated double bonds are on the same side.
table with 2 legs on each saide on the same side
what is a transoid // s-trans
when the conjugated double bonds are on opposite sides of the single bond
which are more stable: cisoid or transoid and why
transoid bc there is less steric hinderance and repulsion between the 2 double bonds as they are more spread out
what is a cumulated diene
when the 2 double bonds are right next to eachother
theyre allenes
c=c=c
another word for cumulated diene
allene
can allenes be chiral
yes
if a carbon is bonded to 2 different groups (2 different substituents)
the double bonds in an allene are described as
consecutive, not conjugated
theyre one after the other
c=c=c
are allenes flat
no
the 2 double bonds are at right angles to eachother
describe a chiral allene
the carbon is bonded to 2 different groups
what is an alkyne
triple carbon bond
what geometric shape is a alkyne
its 180*
linear
what hydridisation is an alkyne
sp hybridised
