Hydrocarbons containing double bonds

double bond the functional group center of reactivity

Alkenes

Systematic Nomenclature of Alkenes

•Longest continuous chain containing the

functional group

•Cite the substituents in alphabetical order

•Name with the lowest functional group number and then the lowest substituent numbers

•No numbering of the functional group is needed in

a cyclic alkene

Special Nomenclatures

Structure of Alkene

Isomers of Alkene

Dipole Moments of Alkene Isomers

Conversion of alkene isomers requires breaking of the π bond between the two sp2 carbons

Cis-Trans Interconversion in Vision

E and Z isomers

Naming by the E,Z System

Rule 1: Consider the atomic number of the

atoms bonded directly to a specific sp2

carbon

Rule 2: If there is a tie, consider the atoms

attached to the tie

Rule 3: Multiple bonds are treated as attachment

of multiple single bonds

Rule 4: Rank the priorities by mass number in isotopes.

An alkene is an electron-rich molecule

Nucleophile: an electron-rich atom or molecule that shares electrons with electrophiles

Examples of Nucleophiles

A nucleophile

Nucleophiles are attracted to electron-deficient atoms or molecules (electrophiles)

Examples of Electrophiles

Electrophilic Addition of HBr to Alkene

Movement of a pair of electrons

Movement of one electron

A Reaction Coordinate Diagram

Transition states have partially formed bonds

Intermediates have fully formed bonds

Thermodynamics describes the properties of a system at equilibrium

Thermodynamic Parameters

Gibbs standard free energy change ( ∆G° )

Enthalpy ( ∆H° ): the heat given off or absorbed during a reaction

Entropy ( ∆S° ): a measure of freedom of motion

∆G° = ∆H° – T∆S°

If ∆S° is small compared to ∆H° , ∆G° ~ ∆H°

Exergonic Reaction

– ∆G°

Endergonic Reaction

+ ∆G°

∆H° can be calculated from bond dissociation energies

Solvation: the interaction between a solvent

and a molecule (or ion) in solution

Solvation can affect ∆H° and/or ∆S° , which ultimately affects ∆G°

Kinetics deals with the rate of chemical reactions and the factors that affect those rates

The rate-limiting step controls the overall rate of the reaction

Rate of a reaction =

number of collisions

per unit time

fraction with sufficient energy

fraction with proper orientation

The free energy between the transition state and the reactants

Rates and Rate Constants

First-order reaction

rate = k[A]

Second-order reaction

A + B C + D

rate = k[A][B]
