unusual facts about alkene

Allylic strain

In these situations, acid treatment would normally cause the alkene to become protonated, moving the double bond to the carboxylic group, changing it to a hydroxy group.

Benson group increment theory

The same as ring system, corrections have been made to other situations such as Gauche alkane with a 0.8kcal/mol correction, cis alkene with a 1.0kcal/mol correction, respectively.

Diarylethene

The most common example is E-stilbene, which upon irradiation undergoes an E to Z isomerization, which can be followed by a 6π electrocyclization.

McMurry

The McMurry reaction, in which two carbonyls are coupled to give a single alkene

Vinyl iodide functional group

Vilarrasa and Costa’s group hypothesized that radical reactions producing HI and I2 help facilitate cleavage in alcohol’s protecting group and may add into other alkene bonds.
