Ever put an apple into a bag with green tomatoes or a green banana?
Natural Products:
CH2=CH2
What might account for the difference
between lemon and orange in the
limonene structure?

Molecular Formulas of Alkenes
Saturated vs. Unsaturated: Missing Hydrogens
Alkanes are completely “saturated”
i.e. only single bonds
Each double bond has 1 degree of unsaturation.
Each ring has 1 degree of unsaturation.
Each triple bond is 2 degrees of unsaturation.
Compare a molecular formula to an alkane’s: every
TWO Hydrogens less = I degree of unsaturation

Molecular Formulas of Alkenes
Saturated vs. Unsaturated: Missing Hydrogens
Noncyclic alkene:
CnH2n
1 degree of unsaturation
Cyclic alkene:
CnH2n-2
(Same as an alkyne;
2 degrees of unsaturation)
4
Systematic Nomenclature of Alkenes
•Follows alkane rules; treats double bond as a function:
Think of alcohols
5
•Substituents in alphabetical order with lowest numbers
6
•Cyclic alkenes:
7
Important Special Terms
Vinyl Hs:
bonded to the double bond.
Allylic Hs:
on sp3 carbons next to the
double bond.

E and Z isomers
Priority is in order of atomic number.
Rank H vs. Br and C vs. Cl.
14
Naming using E, Z
E (entgegen:opposite): Z (zusammen; same)
Consider the atomic number of the
atoms bonded directly to a specific sp2
carbon
1,1 on same side = Z

If the atoms are the same, eg. the carbon
atoms: then consider the other atoms
that are attached to them.

An alkene is an electron rich molecule, a nucleophile.
“nucleophile”- likes nuclei (likes protons: H+)
Nucleophiles: electron-rich atoms or
molecules that react with electrophiles.
“electrophile”- likes electrons (likes minus: eand anions) Examples of nucleophiles
19
Nucleophiles are attracted to electron-deficient
atoms or molecules (electrophiles)
Examples of Electrophiles

Electrophilic Addition of HBr to Alkene
A two step reaction.
Mechanistic path of a reaction:
how reactants form products.
How can a mechanism be illustrated?
i.e. bond making & bond breaking
21
Using Curved Arrows in Reaction Mechanisms
Movement of a pair of electrons:
START arrows from electrons pointing to electrophile
Use 1/2 arrow for the movement of one electron

A Reaction Coordinate Diagram
Transition states have partially formed bonds
Intermediates have fully formed bonds
24
Thermodynamic Parameters
DGo = DHo - TDSo
Gibbs standard free energy change (DGo)
Enthalphy (DHo): the heat given off or absorbed
during a reaction
Entropy (DSo): a measure of freedom of motion
If DSo is small compared to DHo, DGo ~ DHo
25
Exergonic Reaction
-DGo
Endergonic Reaction
+DGo

Kinetics deals with the rate of chemical reactions
and the reaction mechanism
Rate of a reaction =
number of collision
per unit time
fraction with
fraction with
X sufficient energy X proper orientation
The rate-limiting step controls the overall rates of the reaction
28
The free energy of activation & the transition state
and the reactants
29
DG‡ = DH‡ -TDS‡
DG‡ :
(free energy of transition state)- (free energy of reactants)
DH‡ :
(enthalpy of transition state) - (enthalpy of reactants)
DS‡ :
(entropy of transition state) - (entropy of reactants)
