Naming of Alkenes
• Name the parent hydrocarbon
• Number carbons in chain so that double bond carbons have lowest possible numbers
• Rings have “cyclo” prefix
• If 2 double bonds – diene, If 3 double bonds – triene ……..

Cis-Trans Isomerism in Alkenes
• Carbon atoms in a double bond are sp2-hybridized– Three equivalent orbitals at 120º separation in
plane– Fourth orbital is atomic p orbital
• Combination of electrons in two sp2 orbitals of two atoms forms bond between them
• Additive interaction of p orbitals creates a bonding orbital– Subtractive interaction creates a anti-bonding
orbital
![Page 12: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Cis-Trans Isomerism in Alkenes
• Occupied orbital prevents rotation about -bond
• Rotation prevented by bond - high barrier, about 268 kJ/mole in ethylene
![Page 13: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Rotation of Bond Is Prohibitive
• This prevents rotation about a carbon-carbon double bond (unlike a carbon-carbon single bond).
• Creates possible alternative structures
![Page 14: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
• The presence of a carbon-carbon double bond can create two possible structures
– cis isomer - two similar groups on same side of the double bond
– trans isomer - similar groups on opposite sides
• Each carbon must have two different groups for these isomers to occur
![Page 15: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Cis, Trans Isomers Require That End Groups Must Differ in Pairs
• 180°rotation superposes • Bottom pair cannot be superposed without breaking
C=C
![Page 16: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Sequence Rules: The E,Z Designation
• Neither compound is clearly “cis” or “trans”
– Substituents on C1 are different than those on C2
– We need to define “similarity” in a precise way to distinguish the two stereoisomers
• Cis, trans nomenclature only works for disubstituted double bonds
![Page 17: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
E,Z Stereochemical Nomenclature
• Priority rules of Cahn, Ingold, and Prelog
• Compare where higher priority groups are with respect to bond and designate as prefix
• E -entgegen, opposite sides
• Z - zusammen, together on the same side
![Page 18: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Ranking Priorities: Cahn-Ingold-Prelog Rules
RULE 1• Must rank atoms that are connected at comparison
point• Higher atomic number gets higher priority
– Br > Cl > S > P > O > N > C > H
![Page 19: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
RULE 2• If atomic numbers are the same, compare at next
connection point at same distance• Compare until something has higher atomic number• Do not combine – always compare
Extended Comparison

20
RULE 3• Substituent is drawn with connections shown and no
double or triple bonds• Added atoms are valued with 0 ligands themselves

22
Stability of Alkenes
• Cis alkenes are less stable than trans alkenes• Compare heat given off on hydrogenation: Ho
• Less stable isomer is higher in energy– And gives off more heat– tetrasubstituted > trisubstituted > disubstituted > monosusbtituted– hyperconjugation stabilizes
![Page 23: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Comparing Stabilities of Alkenes
• Evaluate heat given off when C=C is converted to C-C
• More stable alkene gives off less heat– trans-Butene generates 5 kJ less heat than cis-
butene
![Page 24: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Hyperconjugation
• Electrons in neighboring filled orbital stabilize vacant antibonding orbital – net positive interaction
• Alkyl groups are better than H
![Page 25: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Electrophilic Addition of Alkenes
• General reaction mechanism: electrophilic addition
• Attack of electrophile (such as HBr) on bond of alkene
• Produces carbocation and bromide ion
• Carbocation is an electrophile, reacting with nucleophilic bromide ion
![Page 26: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
• Two step process• First transition state is high energy point

27
Electrophilic Addition for preparations
• The reaction is successful with HCl and with HI as well as HBr
• HI is generated from KI and phosphoric acid
![Page 28: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Orientation of Electrophilic Addition: Markovnikov’s Rule
• In an unsymmetrical alkene, HX reagents can add in two different ways, but one way may be preferred over the other
• If one orientation predominates, the reaction is regiospecific
• Markovnikov observed in the 19th century that in the addition of HX to alkene, the H attaches to the carbon with the most H’s and X attaches to the other end (to the one with the most alkyl substituents) – This is Markovnikov’s rule
![Page 29: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

30
• Addition of HCl to 2-methylpropene• Regiospecific – one product forms where two are possible• If both ends have similar substitution, then not regiospecific
Example of Markovnikov’s Rule
![Page 31: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Markovnikov’s Rule (restated)
• More highly substituted carbocation forms as intermediate rather than less highly substituted one
• Tertiary cations and associated transition states are more stable than primary cations
![Page 32: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Carbocation Structure and Stability
• Carbocations are planar and the tricoordinate carbon is surrounded by only 6 electrons in sp2 orbitals
• The fourth orbital on carbon is a vacant p-orbital
• The stability of the carbocation (measured by energy needed to form it from R-X) is increased by the presence of alkyl substituents
![Page 33: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Inductive stabilization of cation species
![Page 34: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
The Hammond Postulate
• If carbocation intermediate is more stable than another, why is the reaction through the more stable one faster?
– The relative stability of the intermediate is related to an equilibrium constant (Gº)
– The relative stability of the transition state (which describes the size of the rate constant) is the activation energy (G‡)
– The transition state is transient and cannot be examined
![Page 35: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Transition State Structures
• A transition state is the highest energy species in a reaction step
• By definition, its structure is not stable enough to exist for one vibration
• But the structure controls the rate of reaction
• So we need to be able to guess about its properties in an informed way
• We classify them in general ways and look for trends in reactivity – the conclusions are in the Hammond Postulate
![Page 36: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Examination of the Hammond Postulate
• A transition state should be similar to an intermediate that is close in energy
• Sequential states on a reaction path that are close in energy are likely to be close in structure - G. S. Hammond
![Page 37: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Competing Reactions and the Hammond Postulate
• Normal Expectation: Faster reaction gives more stable intermediate
• Intermediate resembles transition state
![Page 38: CH 6: Alkenes Structure and Reactivity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816846550346895dde2477/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Mechanism of Electrophilic Addition: Rearrangements of Carbocations
• Carbocations undergo structural rearrangements following set patterns
• 1,2-H and 1,2-alkyl shifts occur
• Goes to give more stable carbocation
• Can go through less stable ions as intermediates
