    Study Notes

    Types of Reactions of Alkanes

    • Alkanes primarily undergo two types of reactions: combustion and substitution.

    Combustion Reactions

    • In combustion reactions, alkanes react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat.

    Homologous Compounds with Double Bonds

    • The family of homologous compounds containing carbon-carbon double bonds is called alkenes.

    General Formula for Alkenes

    • The general formula for alkenes is C_nH_(2n).

    IUPAC Naming of Alkenes

    • The IUPAC name for CH3CH=CHCH3 is propene (specifically, it is 2-butene, since the double bond is between the second and third carbon).
    • The IUPAC name for CH3CH2CH2CH=CH2 is 1-pentene.
    • The IUPAC name for the compound with the structural formula CH3CH2CH=CHCH3 is 2-pentene.

    Structural Formulas

    • Structural formula for 4-methyl-2-pentene includes a double bond between the second and third carbons with a methyl group on the fourth carbon.
    • The structural formula for 1-methylcyclopentene features a methyl group on the first carbon of a cyclopentene ring.

    Isomerism

    • Cis isomer is characterized by substituents being on the same side of the double bond (for example, in 2-butene).
    • Trans isomer features substituents on opposite sides of the double bond, exhibited by trans-3-methyl-2-pentene which showcases geometric isomerism.

    More IUPAC Names

    • The IUPAC name for 1,3-dimethylcyclohexene involves a cyclohexene ring with methyl groups attached at the first and third carbons.
    • The IUPAC name for CH3CH2CH2CH=CHCH3 is 1-hexene.
    • The IUPAC name for CH3CH=CHCH2CH(CH3)CH3 is recognized as 3-methyl-1-pentene.
