Ethene
3 Carbon Alkene
Propene
4 carbon alkene
Butene
When naming an Alkene how do you number the parent chain?
Start with the side that reaches the double bond first
BOTH PARTS OF THE DOUBLE BOND MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE CHAIN
Cis Stereochemistry
Identical substitute to stick of the same side
Trans stereochemistry
Identical substituents stick off opposite sides of the double bond
Z stereochemistry
High priority substituents are on the same side βze zame zideβ ππ
E stereochemistry
High priority substituents are on opposite sides of the double bond
Diene
Suffix used when an Alkene has 2 double bonds
Triene
Suffix when an Alkene has 3 double bonds
Protonation
Use electrons from the double bond to form a bond with the proton (H) in the hydrohalic acid
Carbocation
Positively charged carbon
Tertiary (3 degree) cation
3+ carbon substituentsβ¦.most stable
Secondary (2 degree) cation
2 carbon substituentsβ¦..more stable than primary (1degree) cations
Primary (1 degree) cation
1 carbon substituentβ¦least stable
Adding a hydrohalic acid to an Alkene involvesβ¦
Markovnikov addition
Markovnikovβs rule
The proton prefers to attach to the less substituted carbon
Doing this leaves the more substituted carbon with the positive charge
The most stable carbocation reactsβ¦
Fastest
Halogenation
Addition of Br2 or Cl2
Hydrogenation
Addition of H2
Hydrogenation and cis products
occurs when alkene interacts with activated H atoms on the surface of a catalyst so the H atoms add to the same side of the double bond (called syn addition) resulting in cis product
Halogenation and trans products
two halides add to opposite sides of the double bond (anti addition)
halohydrin
one halide and one alcohol [OH]
dihalide
molecule with two halide groups
R and S configuration
R β> clockwise Sβ> counterclockwise
Tip: when driving a car if you turn the steering wheel clockwise youβre going right (R)
Group Priority
1st priority goes to the atom/molecule with the highest atomic number
Priority for identical 1st atoms ex: CO and CH
CO has higher priority bc O has a higher atomic number than H
Priority for chains ex: CC and CCC
CCC has higher priority bc its a longer chain, this applies to all atoms except F
OH-R
alcohol
SH-R
thiol
NH2-R
amine
R-OR
ether
R-COO-R
ester
R-CtriplebondN
nitrile
enatinomer
non-identical, mirror image structures, not superimposable
stereoisomers
different orientations of atoms in space
Diastereomers
any stereoisomer that is not identical β> NOT MIRROR IMAGES
