Isolated – p system on a single pair of adjacent atoms.

Extended – p system on a longer series of atoms. This gives extended chemical reactivity.

Classification of Allylic Systems

Page 3: Conjugation in Alkadienes and Allylic Systems conjugare is a Latin verb meaning "to link or yoke together"

Conjugated:

Most stable

Requirements: Continuous π systems with adjacent “p” orbitals overlapping.

Bonding Energy: Extra bonds between p systems.

Reactivity: Reactivity differs depending on specific diene and other chemicals involved.

Types of Dienes

Continuous, overlapping p-orbitals.

Page 4: Conjugation in Alkadienes and Allylic Systems conjugare is a Latin verb meaning "to link or yoke together"

Isolated:

Less stable than conjugated.

Requirements: π systems separate and are isolated by an sp3 center.

Bonding Energy: Standard bonding.

Reactivity: Same as simple alkenes.

Types of Dienes

sp3 center

Alkene p-orbital overlap.Alkene p-orbital overlap.

Page 5: Conjugation in Alkadienes and Allylic Systems conjugare is a Latin verb meaning "to link or yoke together"

Cumulated:

Least stable.

Requirements: Double bonds share the sp hybridization of middle carbon.

Bonding Energy: Wrong angle, there is no overlap.

Reactivity: Same as simple alkynes.

Dienes undergo electrophilic addition reactions similar to alkenes:

Isolated dienes: Double bonds react independently of one another, and therefore react like alkenes.

Cumulated dienes: React more like alkynes

Conjugated dienes: Conjugated C=C may change the reaction.

Dienes act as nucleophiles, reacting with electrophiles.
