Alkenes contain carbon-carbon double bonds which give them unique reactivity and properties. There are two types of bonds in a C=C double bond - a sigma bond and a pi bond. The pi bond is weaker and is responsible for alkenes being more reactive than alkanes. Alkenes exhibit geometric isomers (cis/trans or E/Z) due to the rigidity of the pi bond. Common methods for synthesizing alkenes include elimination reactions and dehydrohalogenation reactions using a strong base. Alkenes are important industrially as monomers for polymers such as polystyrene and PTFE.

What is IUPAC naming?
In order to give compounds a name, certain rules must be followed. When naming organic compounds, the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) nomenclature (naming scheme) is used. This is to give consistency to the names. It also enables every compound to have a unique name, which is not possible with the common names used (for example in industry). We will first look at some of the steps that need to be followed when naming a compound, and then try to apply these rules to some specific examples.
Basic concepts of organic chemistry such as structural formulas, different kinds of representation, types of isomerism, examples, alkanes, alkenes, alkynes etc.
NOMENCLATURE OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS BY -- KHUSH AHUJAKhushAhuja
In chemical nomenclature, the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended[1] by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). It is published in the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry (informally called the Blue Book). Ideally, every possible organic compound should have a name from which an unambiguous structural formula can be created. There is also an IUPAC nomenclature of inorganic chemistry.
To avoid long and tedious names in normal communication, the official IUPAC naming recommendations are not always followed in practice, except when it is necessary to give an unambiguous and absolute definition to a compound. IUPAC names can sometimes be simpler than older names, as with ethanol, instead of ethyl alcohol. For relatively simple molecules they can be more easily understood than non-systematic names, which must be learnt or looked over. However, the common or trivial name is often substantially shorter and clearer, and so preferred. These non-systematic names are often derived from an original source of the compound. In addition, very long names may be less clear than structural formula.

Alkanes are organic compounds that consist entirely of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms and lack any other functional groups. Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2 and can be subdivided into the following three groups: the linear straight-chain alkanes, branched alkanes, and cycloalkanes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Ch07. structure and syntesys alkenes
1. Structure and Synthesis of Alkenes
Alkenes (olefins) are hydrocarbons which have carbon–carbon double
bonds.
H
C C
H
H
H
A double bond is a σ bond and a π bond.
Double bond B.D.E.
σ bond B.D.E.
= 146 kcal/mol
= 83 kcal/mol
Therefore π B.D.E. must = 63 kcal/mol.
A π bond is weaker than a σ bond.
π Bonds are more reactive than σ bonds, and π bonds are considered to be a
functional group.
Structure of Alkenes
In ethylene (ethene) each carbon is bonded to 3 other atoms, with zero
nonbonding electrons => sp2 hybridization.
The C-H bonds are formed by overlap of sp2 orbitals from the Carbon
overlapping with 1s orbital from the Hydrogen.
(The C-H bonds in ethane are sp3/1s overlapping orbitals. The ethene C-H
bonds contain more s character than the ethane C-H bonds and are therefore
shorter and stronger).

sp2 are 1/3 s, whereas sp3 are 1/4 s in character. (s orbitals are closer to the
nucleus and lower in energy).
The carbon-carbon bond in ethene is shorter and stronger than in ethane
partly because of the sp2-sp2 overlap being stronger than sp3-sp3, but
especially because of the extra π bond in ethene.
Double Bond
The unhybridized p orbitals on each carbon align parallel to form a π bond.
The π bond prevents rotation about the C=C bond because it would force the
p orbitals into a non overlapping formation (i.e. break the π bond).
The π bond exists with half its electron density above the σ bond, and half
below.
Elements of Unsaturation
Alkanes are said to be saturated since they have they maximum number of
bonds to hydrogen.
An alkene is unsaturated.
Ch07 Alkenes (Struct + synth)
Page2
3. Any π system or a ring system reduces the maximum number of hydrogens a
molecule can have.
An element of unsaturation relates to 2 missing hydrogens from the
saturated formula (CnH2n+2).
Consider alkane, alkenes and cycles:
H2
C
H3C CH2CH3
propane
C3H8
saturated
H2C CHCH3
propene
C3H6
one element
of unsaturation
H2C
CH2
cyclopropane
C3H6
one element
of unsaturation
Heteroatom complications
Heteroatoms are considered anything other than C or H.
Halogens
These simply substitute for hydrogens in the molecular formula.
Therefore just like C2H6 is saturated, so is C2H4F2.
Oxygen
CH3-CH3 is saturated (C2H6)
CH3-O-CH3 is also saturated (C2H6O)
An oxygen can be added without requiring any additional hydrogens, so
ignore the number of oxygens when calculating elements of Unsaturation.
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is trivalent, and when it replaces a C in a chain it requires only one
hydrogen (-NH- vs. -CH2- ), so nitrogens count as half a carbon.
Thus C4H9N is equivalent to C4.5H9. (i.e. one element of Unsaturation).

5. Geometric isomers
The rigidity of a π bond gives rise to geometric isomers.
When similar groups (not H’s) are bound to the same side of the double
bond the alkene is said to be cis.
When similar groups are bound to opposite side of the double bond it is said
to be trans.

Cycloalkenes must have 8 or more carbons before they are large enough to
incorporate a trans double bond.

The assignment of geometrical isomers as either E or Z follows on from the
Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention.

Stability of Alkenes
Alkenes are reduced to alkanes by the action of hydrogen gas in the presence
of a catalyst.
The exothermicity of this reaction is called the heat of hydrogenation, and
these values give information about the stability of the alkene.
We observe that the data confirms the Saytzeff rule, that more highly
substituted double bonds are more stable.
R2C=CR2 > R2C=CRH > RHC=CHR and R2C=CH2 > RCH=CH2
This is because the alkyl groups stabilize the double bond.
The stability arises from two factors:
1) the alkyl groups are electron donating (hyperconjugation) and so donate
electron density into the π bond.
2) A double bond (sp2) carbon separates bulky groups better than an sp3
carbon, thus reducing steric congestion.

Energy differences in Alkenes
Heats of hydrogenation infer that trans isomers are more stable than cis
isomers.
This seems correct since the bulky groups are further separated in space in a

9. Cycloalkenes
The only difference in reactivity or energetics from acyclic systems occurs
when there is significant ring strain in the cycloalkene.
Cyclopentene, -butene and even -propene exist, and these compounds have
increasingly more reactive double bonds.

Cyclobutene is about 4kcal/mol more strained than cyclopentene. (Smaller
bond angles mean more deviation from 120o).
Bredt’s Rule
We have already seen that cycloalkenes need 8 or more C atoms to be large
enough to accommodate a trans double bond.
An extension of this is Bredt’s rule which states:
A bridged bicyclic compound cannot have a double bond at a bridgehead
position unless one of the rings contains at least eight carbon atoms
Recall:
Bicyclic means two rings.
Bridgehead carbon is part of both rings.

A bridged bicyclic compound has at least one carbon in each the three links

Alkene Synthesis
Typically alkenes are produced by elimination reactions.
Recall the E2 elimination of H-X (dehydrohalogenation)
The E2 elimination can be an excellent synthetic method if:
The reactant is a poor SN2 substrate.
A strong base is used.
For example:

H3C
Br
CH3
+ HO:-
CH3
+ H2O + BrCH3

Use of a bulky base
A bulky base can further discourage undesired substitution reactions (i.e. a
good base, poor nucleophile).

Formation of Other Products
The Saytzeff rule predicts the major alkene product from an elimination to
be the more highly substituted alkene.
Sometimes, strong, bulky bases can form products that are not Saytzeff
products.
The proton which must be removed to give the more substituted alkene is
often the more sterically hindered proton, and the bulky base would rather
remove a more accessible proton, which leads to a less stable product.
Such a product is a Hoffman product.

The hydroxyl group is not a good leaving group, but under acidic conditions
it will protonate, and the –OH2+ group is a good leaving group.
The ionization generates a molecule of water and a cation, which then easily
deprotonates to give the alkene.
The intermediate cation can undergo rearrangements, and strong acid is
often used to promote such reactions.
