Naming of Alkenes | Stereogenic Centers, Alkene Oxides & Isomer Problems (C₆H₁₂), E Z Diastereomers

Описание: In this introductory problem-solving session on alkenes, we focus on one of the most essential skills in organic chemistry: correct IUPAC nomenclature. The video walks step-by-step through common and exam-relevant naming problems to build a strong foundation before moving on to alkene reactions in the next lecture.

Key concepts discussed include:

• Systematic IUPAC naming of alkenes
• Alkenes containing stereogenic (chiral) carbons
• Naming alkenols (alkenes with alcohol functional groups)
• Introduction to epoxides (alkene oxides) and their relationship to alkene epoxidation
• Complete listing and analysis of all possible isomers of C₆H₁₂ with one methyl substituent and one double bond (methylpentene isomers)

This session emphasizes structure drawing, identification of substituents, priority rules, and correct numbering, which are critical for mastering alkene chemistry. These problems serve as a bridge between basic nomenclature and upcoming discussions on alkene reactions and mechanisms.

Perfect for:
Undergraduate organic chemistry students, pre-med and STEM majors, and anyone preparing for exams who wants to strengthen their problem-solving skills in alkene nomenclature.

Next video: Reactions of alkenes – addition reactions, regioselectivity, and stereochemistry.
