Dehydration of secondary or tertiary alcohols usually proceed via E1 elimination The stability of the carbocation is a key factor in this reaction!

Relative Heat of Hydrogenation of Alkenes

E N T H A L P Y ∆Ho = -127 kJ/mol

∆Ho = -120 kJ/mol

∆Ho = -115 kJ/mol

CH3CH2CH2CH3 • All reactions are exothermic, the ∆Ho is the heat of reaction • All reactions require H2 and a metal catalyst • Product from all reactions is butane

Relative Stability of Alkenes

INCREASING STABILITY

• the greater the substitution (i.e. number of attached alkyl groups) the more stable the alkene • trans-double bonds are more stable than cis, except in ring systems with less than 6 carbons

Cycloalkenes

trans-cyclohexene - evidence that it forms as a very high energy reactive intermediate NOT stable at room temperature!

The Health Effects of trans-Double Bonds

Unsaturated fats (oils) Molecules with cis-double bonds

Essential starting materials for the Biosynthesis of hormones

Saturated fats (animal fat, butter) Molecules with NO bonds

Increase the risk of cardiovascular disease associated with high levels of cholesterol

The Health Effects of trans-Double Bonds The process of making margarine Vegetable oils (usually liquids) are partly hydrogenated to convert them to solid fats

Unsaturated fats (OILS) Molecules with cis-double bonds

• trans-fats are molecules with trans double bonds • trans-fats increase the risk of cardiovascular disease
