Molecular Formula and the Degree of Unsaturation molecular formula = CnH2n+2 – 2 hydrogens for every π bond or ring degree of unsaturation = the total numbers of π bonds and rings
Compounds with Molecular Formula = C8H14 CnH2n+2 = C8H18 Therefore, C8H14 has two degrees of unsaturation. compounds with six hydrogens and two degrees of unsaturation
Saturated and Unsaturated Hydrocarbons Saturated hydrocarbons have no double bonds. Unsaturated hydrocarbons have one or more double bonds.
Nomenclature of Alkenes Replace “ane” of alkane with “ene.” The functional group gets the lowest possible number.
Nomenclature of Dienes two double bonds = diene
Nomenclature of Alkenes Number in the direction so thatthe functional group gets the lowest number.
Nomenclature of Alkenes Substituents are stated in alphabetical order.
Nomenclature of Cyclic Alkenes A number is not needed to denote the position of the functional group; it is always between C1 and C2.
Vinylic and Allylic Carbons vinylic carbon: the sp2 carbon of an alkene allylic carbon: a carbon adjacent to a vinylic carbon
Double Bonds Have Restricted Rotation Rotation about a double bond breaks the π bond.
Alkenes Have Cis–Trans Isomers cis trans Cis: The hydrogens are on the same side of the ring. Trans: The hydrogens are on opposite sides of the ring. They have different configurations; they can be separated.
The E,Z System of Nomenclature Z = Zusammen (together) E = Entgegen (opposite)
Relative Priorities The relative priorities of the two groups depends on the atomic numbers of the atoms attached to the sp2 carbon.
Isomers for Compounds with Two Double Bonds
Reactions of Organic Compounds Organic compounds can be divided into families. All members of a family react in the same way. The family a compound belongs to depends on its functional group.
Electrophiles An electrophile has a positive charge, a partial positive charge, or an incomplete octet.
Nucleophiles A nucleophile has a negative charge or a lone pair.
A Nucleophile Reacts with an Electrophile Your first organic reaction is a two-step reaction.
Curved Arrows first step of the reaction Curved arrows are used to show the mechanism of a reaction. The mechanism of a reaction is the step-by-step description of the process by which reactants are converted into products.
Curved Arrows second step of the reaction The curved arrow shows where the electrons start from and where they end up.
A Reaction Coordinate Diagram A reaction coordinate diagram shows the energy changes that take place in each step of a reaction.
The Equilibrium Constant The equilibrium constant gives the concentration of reactants and products at equilibrium.

Free Energy of Activation (∆G‡) The free energy of activation is the energy barrier of the reaction.
Rate of a Reaction Increasing the concentration increases the rate. Increasing the temperature increases the rate. The rate can also be increased by a catalyst.

The Arrhenius Equation The value of A pertains to the frequency and orientation of collisions. e–Ea/RT The term e–Ea/RT provides the reaction of molecules with the needed activation energy at a given temperature (T).
An Electrophilic Addition Reaction Transition states have partially formed bonds.
