Alkenes and Alkynes Chapter #3
Alkene Introduction • Hydrocarbon with carbon-carbon double bonds • Sometimes called olefins, “oil-forming gas” • General formula CnH2n n≥2 • Examples n=2 C2H4
Common Names Usually used for small molecules. Examples: CH3 CH2=CH2CH2=CH-CH3CH2=C-CH3 ethylene propylene isobutylene Vinyl carbons are the carbons sharing a double bond in blue Vinylhydrogensare the hydrogens bonded to vinyl carbons in red
IUPAC Nomenclature • Parent is longest chain containing the double or triple bond. • -ane changes to –ene (or -diene, -triene) for double bonds, or –yne (or –diyne, -triyne). • Number the chain so that the double bond, or triple bond has the lowest possible number. • In a ring, the double bond is assumed to be between carbon 1 and carbon 2.

Alkyne Common Names • Acetylene is the common name for the two carbon alkyne. • To give common names to alkynes having more than two carbons, give alkyl names to the carbon groups attached to the vinyl carbons followed by acetylene.
Alkyne Examples Isopropyl methyl acetylene
Alkyne Examples Isopropyl methyl acetylene sec-butyl Cyclopropyl acetylene
Cis-trans Isomerism • Similar groups on same side of double bond, alkene is cis. • Similar groups on opposite sides of double bond, alkene is trans. • Cycloalkenes are assumed to be cis. • Trans cycloalkenes are not stable unless the ring has at least 8 carbons.

E-Z Nomenclature • Use the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules to assign priorities to groups attached to each carbon in the double bond. Highest priority is #1 and is the element with the largest atomic number. • If high priority groups are on the same side, the name is Z (for zusammen). • If high priority groups are on opposite sides, the name is E (for entgegen).

Physical Properties • Low boiling points, increasing with mass. • Branched alkenes have lower boiling points. • Less dense than water. • Nonpolar (Hydrophobic)
Alkene Synthesis Elimination Reactions: • Dehydrohalogenation (-HX) • Dehydration of alcohols (-H2O) Examples: Zaitsev’s rule: The major product contains the most substituted double bond

Regiospecificity Markovnikov’s Rule: The proton (H+) of an acid adds to the carbon in the double bond that already has the most H’s. “Rich get richer.” H O-H Examples: H H H+ C-C H H C=C + H-O-H H CH3 H CH3 Major Products H Cl H H C-C C=C + H-Cl H H H CH3 H CH3

Alkene Reactions Step 1: Pi electrons attack the electrophile. Step 2: Nucleophile attacks the carbocation
Terpenes • Composed of 5-carbon isopentyl groups. • Isolated from plants’ essential oils. • C:H ratio of 5:8, or close to that. • Pleasant taste or fragrant aroma. • Examples: Myrcene (From bay or myrcia plants) α-Pinene (From pine trees) Β-Selinene (From celery) Menthol (From peppermint oil) Camphor (From evergreen trees) R-Carvone (From spearmint)
Classification • Terpenes are classified by the number of carbons they contain, in groups of 10. • A monoterpene has 10 C’s, 2 isoprenes. • A diterpene has 20 C’s, 4 isoprenes. • A sesquiterpene has 15 C’s, 3 isoprenes.
