What you'll learn

  • Complete alkene synthesis questions with proper stereochemistry and regiochemistry
  • Understand and complete essential alkene mechanisms (arrow flow) vital to first semester organic chemistry.
  • Understand Markovnikov additions, syn and anti additions, along with carbocation stability
  • Easily answer organic chemistry homework, quiz, and test questions related to alkenes

Course content

3 sections • 18 lectures • 3h 52m total length

  • Introduction to Alkenes and Naming Alkenes20:25

    Learn alkene fundamentals: distinguish alkenes from aromatics, understand sigma and pi bonds and sp2 hybridization, and master naming rules that prioritize the alkene and include the longest chain.

  • Cis and Trans vs. E and Z stereochemical designations20:39

    Learn to classify cis/trans and e/z designations for alkenes, using vertical cuts and ranking rules to assign configurations and understand why trans is often more stable due to steric strain.

  • Alkene Stability and Substitution Patterns10:13
  • Introduction to Alkene Synthesis and Mechanisms - Part 118:24

    Explore how alkenes react with hydrogen halides via Markovnikov addition, forming halides, and why carbocation stability—via hyperconjugation and inductive effects—favors secondary over primary.

  • Introduction to Alkene Synthesis and Mechanisms - Part 212:01

Requirements

  • Be enrolled in or have taken an organic chemistry

Description

This course will cover all the basics for alkene properties and synthesis techniques. It is intended to be one of several affordable micro 1st semester organic chemistry courses. You will learn how to execute alkene (double bond) problems with ease and confidence. What you will get from this course:

- Improved grades in your class

- Lifetime access to tutorial videos on all alkene subjects including: naming, stability, stereochemistry, and all mechanisms and synthesis techniques learned in Organic Chemistry I.

- The ability to ask your own organic chemistry questions to the instructor with personalized feedback. I am an experienced university teacher and you can search for me on rate my professor using the name: Matthew Tomney.

- Video walk-through of solved problem sessions for your own practice and review.

Who this course is for:

  • Students enrolled in first semester organic chemistry that are struggling with or want to learn more about alkene reactions
  • Those reviewing for standardized exams including MCATs, GRE's and ACS Exams
  • This course is not ideal for: seconds semester organic students or those wishing to learn more than just alkene chemistry
