13. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Nomenclature of Alkenes The functional group is the center of reactivity in a molecule. The IUPAC system uses a suffix to denote certain functional groups.

14. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Nomenclature of Alkenes 1-1. Find the longest carbon chain. 1-2. Enumerate the carbons such that the functional group, here the double bond, gets the lowest possible number.

15. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Stereoisomers of an Alkene are named using a cis or trans Prefix

16. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Nomenclature of Alkenes 2. Substituents are cited before the parent longest chain, along with a number indicating its position at the chain.

17. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Nomenclature of Alkenes 3. If a chain has more than one double bond, we first identify the chain by its alkane name, replacing the “ne” ending with the appropritate suffix: diene, triene, etc. 4. If a chain has more than one substitutent, substituents are cited in alphabetical order.

18. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Nomenclature of Dienes two double bonds = diene

19. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Nomenclature of Alkenes 5. If the same number for alkene is obtained in both directions, the correct name is the name that contains the lowest substituent number.

20. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Nomenclature of Alkenes 6. A number is not needed to denote the position of the double bond in a cyclic alkene because the double bond is always placed between carbons 1 and 2. 7. Numbers are needed if the ring has more than one double bond.

21. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Nomenclature of Alkenes Remember that the name of a substituent is stated before the name of the parent hydrocarbon, and the functional group suffix is stated after that. [substitutent] [parent hydrocarbon] [fucntional group suffix]

22. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Nomenclature of Alkenes

23. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Nomenclature of Cyclic Alkenes A number is not needed to denote the position of the functional group; it is always between C1 and C2.

24. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Vinylic and Allylic Carbons vinylic carbon: the sp 2 carbon of an alkene allylic carbon: a carbon adjacent to a vinylic carbon

25. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 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.

26. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Each family can be put in one of four Groups The families in a group react in similar ways.

27. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. How Alkenes React ; Curved Arrows The functional group is the center of reactivity of a molecule. In essence, organic chemistry is about the interaction between electron-rich atoms or molecules and electron-deficient atoms or molecules. It is these forces of attraction that make chemical reactions happen. A very simple rule: Electron-rich atoms or molecules are attracted to electron-deficient atoms or molecules!

28. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Electrophiles vs Nucleophiles Electrophile: electron-deficient atom or molecule that can accept a pair of electrons. Nucleophile: electron-rich atom or molecule that has a pair of electrons to share. A very simple rule restated: A nucleophile reacts with an electrophile!

29. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Nucleophiles : Organic molecules with double bonds (alkenes, alkynes) are also nucleophilic. Examples: Electrophiles vs Nucleophiles

47. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Using ∆H° Values to determine the Relative Stabilities of Alkenes The relative energies (stabilities) of three alkenes that can be catalytically hydrogenated to 2-methylbutane. The most stable alkene has the smallest heat of hydrogenation. (Notice that when a reaction coordinate diagram shows ∆H° values, the y-axis is potential energy; when it shows ∆G° values, the y-axis is free energy [Figure 5.2].)

48. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Relative Stabilities of Alkenes Alkyl substituents that are bonded to the sp 2 carbons of an alkene have a stabilizing effect on the alkene. The more alkyl substituents bonded to the sp 2 carbons of an alkene, the greater is its stability.

49. © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Stability The stability of alkenes depends upon number of substituents The more substituents, the more stable
