Unsaturated Hydrocarbons
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are compounds that
contain carbon–carbon multiple bonds.
Alkenes contain a double bond ,
alkynes contain a triple bond and
Aromatic hydrocarbons contain a benzene ring,
(as six-membered ring with three double bonds)
These compounds have a functional group,
making them much more reactive than alkanes.
Thousands of biologically active molecules
contain these functional groups, and many useful
synthetic products result from their reactions.

13.1 Alkenes and Alkynes
Alkenes are compounds that contain a carbon carbon double bond.
The general molecular formula of an alkene is CnH2n
Ethylene or ethene (C2H4) is the simplest alkene.
Each carbon of ethylene is surrounded by three
atoms forming a trigonal planar.
All atoms of ethylene lie in the same plane, and all
bond angles are 120°.
Ethylene is a hormone that regulates plant growth and
fruit ripening.
3
Alkynes are compounds that contain a carbon–carbon
triple bond. The general molecular formula for an
alkyne is CnH2n – 2
Acetylene (C2H2) or ethyne is the simplest alkyne. Each
carbon of acetylene is surrounded by two atoms, making
each carbon linear with bond angles of 180°.
4
In the IUPAC system: An alkene is identified by the suffix -ene.The
simplest alkene, is CH2=CH2 called ethene in the IUPAC system, but it is commonly called ethylene.
An alkyne is identified by the suffix -yne. The simplest alkyne, C2H2
, is called ethyne in the IUPAC system, but it is commonly named acetylene.
Step [2] Number the carbon chain from the end that gives the
multiple bond the lower number.

13.2 Nomenclature of Alkenes And Alkynes
Step [3] Number and name the substituents and write the name.
6
Dienes
Compounds with two double bonds are
called dienes.
They are named by changing the –ane
ending of the parent alkane to the suffix -
diene.
Each double bond gets its own number.
7
Problem13.1 Give the IUPAC name for the following compound.
[1] Find the longest chain containing both carbon atoms of the
multiple bond.
[2] Number the chain to give the double bond the lower number.
8
Numbering from right to left is preferred since the double bond
begins at C2 (not C3). The molecule is named as a 2-pentene.
[3] Name and number the substituents and write the
complete name.
• The alkene has two methyl groups located at C2 and C3.
Use the prefix di- before methyl → 2,3-dimethyl.
Cycloalkenes In naming cycloalkenes, the double bond is located between C1 and
C2, (and the “1” is usually omitted in the name).
The ring is numbered to give the first substituent the lower number.
1-methylcyclopentene 3-methylcyclohepten 1,6-dimethylcyclohexene

Problem 13.3: Draw the structure corresponding to each IUPAC name:
a) 5,5-dimethyl-3-heptyne;
b) 1,3-dimethylcyclohexene.
Problem 13.4
Give the structure corresponding to each of the following names.
a) 4-methyl-1-hexene
b) 2,5-dimethyl-3-hexyne
c) 5-ethyl-2-methyl-2-heptene
d) 1-propylcyclobutene
e) 2-methyl-2-octene
f) 1,3-cyclohexadiene
g) 5-ethyl-2-methyl-1-nonene
h) 4-ethyl-1-decyne
11
13.3 Cis–trans Isomers
With 2-butene, there are two ways to arrange the atoms on the double
bond.
The two CH3 groups can be on the same side of the double bond or they
can be on opposite sides of the double bond.
These molecules are different compounds with the same molecular
formula; that is, they are isomers.
Problem 13.5 : Draw cis- and trans-3-hexene.
12
Problem 13.7: For which compounds are cis and trans isomers possible?
13.6 Reactions of Alkenes And Alkynes
Alkenes and alkynes undergo addition reactions.
In an addition reaction, new groups X and Y are added to a starting
material.
One bond of the double bond is broken and two new single bonds are
formed.
Problem 13.6: Draw a condensed structure for each compound:
(a) cis-2-octene; (b) trans-3-heptene; (c) trans-4-methyl-2-pentene.

13.6A Addition Of Hydrogen (Hydrogenation)
Problem 13.8 Draw the product of the following reaction.
Pd
Hydrogenation (addition of hydrogen (H2) to an alkene).
The addition of H2 occurs only in the presence of a metal catalyst such
as palladium (Pd).
15
Problem 13.10 Draw the product of the reaction.
CH3CH2CH=CH2 + Cl2
16
13.6B Addition Of Halogen (Halogenation)
13.6C Addition of Hydrogen Halides (Hydrohalogenation)
Hydrohalogenation is the addition of HX (X =Cl, Br or I) to an alkene.
HX can be added to the double bond to give two positional isomers
when an unsymmetrical alkene is used as starting material.
Hydrohalogenation readily occurs with HCl, HBr or HI.
The product of hydrohalogenation is an alkyl halide RX.
17
Markovnikov’s Rule
In the addition of HX to an unsymmetrical alkene, the H
atom bonds to the less substituted carbon atom—that is,
the carbon that has more H’s to begin with.
Problem 13.11
What product is formed when 2-methylpropene [(CH3)2C= CH2]
is treated with HBr?
18
positional isomers
13.6D Addition of Water (Hydration)
The hydration of unsymmetrical alkenes follows Markovnikov’s Rule
Problem 13.9 What product is formed when each alkene is treated with
H2 and a Pd catalyst?
Problem 13.12
Hydration is the addition of water to an alkene

13.8 POLYMERS Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units of smaller
molecules called monomers, covalently bonded together.
Problem 13.13 What polymer is formed when CH2=CHCO2CH3
(methyl acrylate) is polymerized?

Benzene (C6H6) is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon
23
August Kekulé proposed that benzene was a rapidly equilibrating mixture of
two compounds, each containing a six-membered ring with three alternating
bonds (sometimes a single bond and sometimes a double bond).
These structures are known as Kekulé structures.
Each of these representations has the same arrangement of atoms.
Only the location of the electrons is different. These structures are
called resonance structures.
To name a benzene ring with one
substituent, name the substituent
and add the word benzene.
13.10 Nomenclature of Benzene Derivatives
Mono Substituted Benzene
24
Common names used for monosubstituted benzenes:
O
benzaldehyde
H
O
OH
benzoic acid
CH3
O
acetophenone
25
Di-Substituted Benzene
If the two groups on the benzene ring are different, alphabetize the names
of the substituents preceding the word benzene.
If one substituent is part of a common root, name the molecule as a
derivative of that mono-substituted benzene.
There are three different ways that two groups can be attached to a benzene ring, so the prefixes: ortho, meta, or para are used to designate the relative position of the two substituents.
25
Number to give the lowest possible around the ring.
Alphabetize the substituent names.
If the two groups on the benzene ring are different, alphabetize the names of the substituents preceding the word benzene.
26
Nomenclature of Benzene Derivatives: (Polysubstituted Benzene)
If one substituent is part of a common root, name the molecule as a
derivative of that mono-substitutedbenzene
Compounds containing two or more benzene rings that share C-
C bonds are called Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs).
There are two different ways to join three rings together, forming
anthracene and phenanthrene.
27
1. Name each of the following aromatic compounds
a. b.
2. Draw the structure corresponding to each name
a)Pentylbenzene c) m-bromoaniline
b) 4-chloro-1,2-diethylbenzene d) o-dichlorobenzene
Stability of Benzene: Aromatic compounds are benzene and compounds resemble benzene.
They are unsaturated compounds that do not undergo the addition reactions as alkenes.
28
But
Benzene undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution in which a hydrogen atom is
replaced by an electrophile E+ such as X+, NO2+
Three specific reactions of benzene. In each reaction, only one hydrogen atom
on benzene is replaced by another atom or group: -Cl, -NO2, or –SO3H,
respectively.
29
