  2. Markovnikov's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markovnikov's_rule

    The rule states that with the addition of a protic acid HX or other polar reagent to an asymmetric alkene, the acid hydrogen (H) or electropositive part gets attached to the carbon with more hydrogen substituents, and the halide (X) group or electronegative part gets attached to the carbon with more alkyl substituents. This is in contrast to ...

  3. Partial charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_charge

    In atomic physics, a partial charge (or net atomic charge) is a non-integer charge value when measured in elementary charge units. It is represented by the Greek lowercase delta (𝛿), namely 𝛿− or 𝛿+. Partial charges are created due to the asymmetric distribution of electrons in chemical bonds.

  4. Group transfer reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_transfer_reaction

    The concerted reaction occurs due to the orbital overlap between the alkene and the allylic enophile. [2] The electrons in the highest occupied molecular orbital of the ene are transferred to the lowest occupied molecular orbital of the enophile. [7] Figure 1. The mechanism of the group transfer reaction is allowed by the orbital overlap of the ...

  5. Pi backbonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_backbonding

    In the case of metal-alkenes and alkynes, the strengthening of the M–C 2 R 4 and M–C 2 R 2 bond is reflected in bending of the C–C–R angles which assume greater sp 3 and sp 2 character, respectively. [8] [9] Thus strong π backbonding causes a metal-alkene complex to assume the character of a metallacyclopropane. [10]

  6. Alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkene

    In organic chemistry, an alkene, or olefin, is a hydrocarbon containing a carbon–carbon double bond. [1] The double bond may be internal or in the terminal position.

  7. Functional group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_group

    There are several functional groups that contain an alkene such as vinyl group, allyl group, or acrylic group. Hydrocarbons may form charged structures: positively charged carbocations or negative carbanions. Carbocations are often named -um. Examples are tropylium and triphenylmethyl cations and the cyclopentadienyl anion.

  8. Asymmetric hydrogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric_hydrogenation

    Alkenes that are particularly amenable to asymmetric hydrogenation often feature a polar functional group adjacent to the site to be hydrogenated. In the absence of this functional group, catalysis often results in low ee's. For some unfunctionalized olefins, iridium with P,N-based ligands) have proven effective, however. Alkene substrates are ...

  9. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    Two charges are present with a negative charge in the middle (red shade), and a positive charge at the ends (blue shade). In chemistry , polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment , with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end.
