    Alkenes

    Definition

    • Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing one or more carbon-carbon double bonds.
    • General formula: CnH2n

    Nomenclature

    • Parent chain: longest continuous chain containing the double bond.
    • Suffix: -ene (e.g., ethene, propene).
    • Prefixes: indicate substituents and their positions.
    • Examples: ethene (CH2=CH2), propene (CH3CH=CH2)

    Physical Properties

    • Physical state: gases or liquids at room temperature.
    • Boiling points: increase with molecular weight.
    • Solubility: generally insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents.

    Chemical Properties

    • Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions.
    • Markovnikov's rule: hydrogen adds to the more substituted carbon.
    • Anti-Markovnikov's rule: hydrogen adds to the less substituted carbon.
    • Examples: hydrogenation (addition of H2), halogenation (addition of X2, where X = Cl, Br, I), hydrohalogenation (addition of HX, where X = Cl, Br, I).

    Reactions

    • Electrocyclic reactions: cycloaddition reactions (e.g., Diels-Alder reaction), electrocyclic ring-opening reactions.
    • Oxidation reactions: epoxidation (formation of epoxides), ozonolysis (cleavage of the double bond).

    Stereochemistry

    • Cis-trans isomerism: cis (same side of the double bond), trans (opposite side of the double bond).
    • Stereoselectivity: reactions that form stereoisomers with a preferential orientation.

    Important Alkenes

    • Ethene (CH2=CH2): used in polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride production.
    • Propene (CH3CH=CH2): used in polypropylene and acrylonitrile production.
    • Butadiene (CH2=CHCH=CH2): used in synthetic rubber production.
