Recall that the double bond consists of a bond and a bond. Alkenes contain a carbon-carbon double bond. Each carbon is hybridized and trigonal planar, with bond Terminal alkenes have the double bond at the end of the angles of approximately. carbon chain. Internal alkenes have at least one carbon atom bonded to each end of the double bond. Cycloalkenes contain a double bond in a ring.

The π bond is much weaker than the σ bond of a C—C double bond, making it much more easily broken. Therefore, alkenes undergo many reactions that alkanes do not. © McGraw Hill LLC © McGraw Hill LLC 6 1 1/19/2025 Degrees of Unsaturation for Cyclic Alkenes 1 Molecules Containing Heteroatoms 1 Cycloalkenes having fewer than eight carbon atoms have a cis Ignore O atoms in the molecule (this divalent atom geometry. is a linker and has no effect on degree of A trans-cycloalkene must have a carbon chain long enough to connect the ends of the double bond without introducing too much strain. unsaturation). trans-Cyclooctene is the smallest, isolable trans cycloalkene, but it is considerably less stable than cis-cyclooctene, making it one of the few Add number of halogens to number of H's (they alkenes having a higher energy trans isomer. are equivalent to H).

Each π bond or ring removes two hydrogen atoms from a molecule, and this introduces one degree of unsaturation. The number of degrees of unsaturation for a given molecular formula can be calculated by comparing the actual number of H atoms in a compound to the maximum number of H atoms possible for the number of carbons present if the molecule were an acyclic alkane. This procedure gives the total number of rings and/or π bonds in a molecule.

The C—C single bond between an alkyl group and one of the double bond carbons of an alkene is slightly polar because the sp3 hybridized alkyl carbon donates electron density to the sp2 hybridized alkenyl carbon. © McGraw Hill LLC 15 © McGraw Hill LLC 18 3 1/19/2025 Cis/Trans Differ in Physical Fatty Acids 1 Properties A consequence of the alkene dipole is that cis and trans isomeric Triacylglycerols are hydrolyzed to glycerol and three fatty alkenes often have somewhat different physical properties. acids of general structure RCOOH. cis-2-Butene has a higher boiling point (4°C) than trans-2-butene (1°C). In the cis isomer, the two Csp3 −Csp2 bond dipoles reinforce each other, yielding a small net molecular dipole. In the trans isomer, the two bond dipoles cancel. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds in their long hydrocarbon chains, and unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds in their hydrocarbon chains. As the number of double bonds in the fatty acid increases, the melting point decreases.

Step – the alkene is the Lewis base that donates an electron pair to H-Br, the Lewis acid. Step – Br⁻ is the Lewis base that donates an electron pair to the carbocation, the Lewis acid. Two bonds are broken in this reaction—the weak π bond of the alkene and the HX bond—and two new σ bonds are formed—one to H and one to X. Recall that the H—X bond is polarized, with a partial positive charge on H. Because the electrophilic H end of HX is attracted to the electron-rich double bond, these reactions are called electrophilic additions. Access the text alternative for slide images.

Sometimes new stereogenic centers are formed from hydrohalogenation. Markovnikov’s rule states that in the addition of HX to an unsymmetrical alkene, the H atom adds to the less substituted carbon atom—that is, the carbon that has the greater number of H atoms to begin with. © McGraw Hill LLC 37 © McGraw Hill LLC 40 Carbocation Stability and Stereochemistry of Carbocation Markovnikov’s Rule Formation The basis of Markovnikov’s rule is the formation of a The mechanism of hydrohalogenation illustrates why two carbocation in the rate-determining step of the mechanism. enantiomers are formed.

Access the text alternative for slide images. © McGraw Hill LLC 44 © McGraw Hill LLC 47 Mechanism of Hydration Halogenation Details Halogens add to π bonds because halogens are polarizable. The electron-rich double bond induces a dipole in an approaching halogen molecule, making one halogen atom electron deficient and the other electron rich (Xδ+—Xδ−). The electrophilic halogen atom is then attracted to the nucleophilic double bond, making addition possible. Two facts demonstrate that halogenation follows a different mechanism from that of hydrohalogenation or hydration. No rearrangements occur. Only anti addition of X2 is observed. These facts suggest that carbocations are not intermediates.

C1 is single bonded to a hydroxyl group with two lone pairs of toward the oxygen atom. The product has a 2-carbon chain. C1 and C2 each have two open single bonds. C1 is electrons on the oxygen atom. The text below the equation reads: single bonded to a hydroxyl group with two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom. C2 is single bonded to X with three lone pairs of electrons. The text below the equation reads: 1. The pi bond of the alkene attacks the H of H 3 O positive to form a new C-H bond and a carbocation in the rate-determining step. 1. Four bonds are broken or formed to generate an unstable bridged halonium ion that contains a three-membered ring. The electron pair in the pi bond and a lone pair on a halogen are used to form two new C-X bonds, and the X-X 2. Nucleophilic attack of H 2 O on the carbocation forms the new C-O bond. bond is cleaved. 3. Removal of a proton with H 2 O forms a neutral alcohol. Because the acid used in step (1) is 2. Nucleophilic attack of H 2 O ring opens the bridged halonium ion and forms a new C-O bond. regenerated in step (3), the reaction is acid-catalyzed. 3. Loss of a proton forms the halohydrin.
