Ú Introduction (7-1)Ú Alkenes are hydrocarbons with C=C in their structure. They are also known as “olefins”.
Ú We have already covered the basics of alkenes nomenclature, but here are a few important groups with common names that you can use as well.

Orbital Description of the Alkene Double Bond (7-2)Ú We already covered this in the first 2 chapters. The carbon of the alkene group are sp2 hybridized, leaving a p orbital available to form a ππππ bond
314
Ú Cis/trans isomerism conversion is not possible

Element of Unsaturation (7-3)
ÚAlkenes are said to be “unsaturated” because they react with hydrogen to give the corresponding alkane (a saturated compound). Alkenes are said to have one element of unsaturation.
315
element of unsaturation.

ÚThe element of unsaturation of a compound can be calculated using the following formula:
Index = # C - # H - # halogen + # N +12 2 2

Nomenclature of cis-trans Isomers (7-5)ÚWe have seen before that cis and trans alkenes were possible. Those were called geometric isomers.
ÚHowever, sometimes this notation cannot

ÚHowever, sometimes this notation cannot produce an unambiguous name.
![Page 9: Chapter 7: Structure and Synthesis of Alkenes · Structure and Synthesis of Alkenes. ... Practice Questions ... or least stable chair conformation of the molecule. The](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021610/5b86bcff7f8b9a212e8cce4b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ú In these cases where the substituents are all different, use the E/Z system. This system can be used all the time, replacing the cis/trans notation.
– E: entgagen (opposite)
– Z: zusammen (together)
320
– Z: zusammen (together)
This system follows the same principles studied in Chapter 5 for the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog notation of chiral carbons.

ÚProcedure:A) assign the substituent a priority for each carbon of the double bond as: #1 and #2.
– #1 is the highest priority and is determined by the atomic number (or molecular weight) of the atom directly

molecular weight) of the atom directly attached to the C=C carbonB) if a priority cannot be determined using the atom directly attached to the C of C=C, go to the next atom until a priority can be determined.

ÚLooking at both carbons, determine if the substituents labeled (1) on each carbon of the double bond are on the same side or opposite sides of the double bond– If both (1) are on the same side: notation is Z
322
Z– If both (1) are on opposite sides: notation is E

ÚStability of Alkenes (7-7)The stability of alkenes can be summarized by the Zaitsev’s Rule:
– More highly substituted double bonds are usually more stable
326
are usually more stable
– In a reaction: chemical reactions producing alkenes will tend to produce the most substituted C=C

Difficulty:ØWith bulky bases and sterically hindered alkyl halides, it is not unusual to get the Hoffmanproduct instead of the Zaitsev’s product.Zaitsev’s product: most substituted C=CHoffman product: least substituted C=C

Elimination from Substituted Cyclohexanes
Ú E2 elimination can take place from either the most stable or least stable chair conformation of the molecule. The requirement to follow is an anticoplanar arrangement of H and X in axial positions.
