Structure of AlkenesStructure of Alkenes A double bond consists of • one sigma bond formed by the overlap of sp2 hybrid
orbitals and one pi bond formed by the overlap of parallel 2p orbitals
• the two carbon atoms of a double bond and the four atoms bonded to them lie in a plane, with bond angles of approximately 120°
5-5-66
Structure of AlkenesStructure of Alkenes
• it takes approximately 264 kJ (63 kcal)/mol to break the pi bond in ethylene; that is, to rotate one carbon by 90° with respect to the other so that there is no overlap between 2p orbitals on adjacent carbons

connectivity but a different arrangement of their atoms in space due to the presence of either a ring or a carbon-carbon double bond

Index of Hydrogen DeficiencyIndex of Hydrogen Deficiency Index of hydrogen deficiency (IHD):Index of hydrogen deficiency (IHD): the sum of
the number of rings and pi bonds in a molecule To determine IHD, compare the number of
hydrogens in an unknown compound with the number in a reference hydrocarbon of the same number of carbons and with no rings or pi bonds• the molecular formula of the reference hydrocarbon is
CnH2n+2

Index of Hydrogen DeficiencyIndex of Hydrogen Deficiency
• for each atom of a Group 7 element (F, Cl, Br, I), add one H
• no correction is necessary for the addition of atoms of Group 6 elements (O,S) to the reference hydrocarbon
• for each atom of a Group 5 element (N, P), subtract one hydrogen

configuration is Z (German, zusammen)• if groups of higher priority are on opposite sides, the
configuration is E (German, entgegen)

• trans-cyclooctene is the smallest trans cyclooctene that has been prepared in pure form and is stable at room temperature
• the cis isomer is 38 kJ (9.1 kcal)/mol more stable than the trans isomer
• the trans isomer is chiral even though it has no chiral center

bonds, change the infix -enen- to -adienadien-, -atrienatrien-, etc.• those containing several double bonds are often
referred more generally as polyenes• following are three dienes

molecules are dispersion forces The physical properties of alkenes are similar to
those of alkanes

Fatty AcidsFatty Acids Animal fats and vegetable oils are both triesters
of glycerol, hence the name triglyceridetriglyceride• hydrolysis of a triglyceride in aqueous base followed
by acidification gives glycerol and three fatty acids
• fatty acids with no C=C double bonds are called saturated fatty acid
• those with one or more C=C double bonds are called unsaturated fatty acids

Fatty AcidsFatty Acids
• the most common fatty acids have an even number of carbons, and between 12 and 20 carbons in an unbranched chain
• the C=C double bonds in almost all naturally occurring fatty acids have a cis configuration
• the greater degree of unsaturation, the lower the melting point
• triglycerides rich in unsaturated fatty acids are generally liquid at room temperature and are called oilsoils
• triglycerides rich in saturated fatty acids are generally semisolids or solids at room temperature and are called fatsfats

Fatty AcidsFatty Acids
• carbon chains of saturated fatty acids exist largely in the staggered, anti-conformation
• because of their high degree of order, they pack together well and are held together by dispersion forces
• as a result both saturated fatty acids and triglycerides derived from them are solids at room temperature
• following is a saturated triglyceride
5-5-3030
Fatty AcidsFatty Acids
• cis double bonds place kinks in the chains of unsaturated fatty acids
• unsaturated fatty acids and the triglycerides derived from them do not pack as well in a crystal lattice as their saturated counterparts, and have weaker dispersion forces between their molecules
• butter fat, for example, has a high content of saturated fatty acids and is a solid at room temperature
• salad oils (from plant oils) have a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids and are liquid at room temperature
