Alkanes, Alkenes, and Conjugated Dienes – Summary

Unit II explores the chemistry of alkanes, alkenes, and conjugated dienes, providing in-depth insight into their structure, reactions, and mechanisms. To begin with, the unit discusses sp³ hybridization in alkanes, emphasizing their tetrahedral geometry. It also covers the halogenation of alkanes as a key substitution reaction and highlights the uses of paraffins in various industrial applications.

Moving forward, the unit examines alkenes, focusing on their sp² hybridization and the stability of double bonds. Detailed discussions include E1 and E2 elimination mechanisms, along with factors that influence these reactions such as carbocation rearrangements, Saytzeff’s orientation, and kinetic behavior. Comparative analysis of E1 vs. E2 reactions is also provided.

The unit continues with important electrophilic addition reactions, including ozonolysis, Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov orientations, and free radical additions. These reactions are critical for modifying alkenes into more functional molecules.

Lastly, the unit introduces conjugated dienes, explaining their enhanced stability and unique reactivity. Reactions such as the Diels–Alder reaction, electrophilic addition, free radical addition, and allylic rearrangement are explored, demonstrating their synthetic utility.
