  • Configurational Stereoisomers of Alkenes

    • Rotation of the end groups of a double bond relative to each other destroys the p-orbital overlap that creates the pi orbital or bond.
    • Because the pi bond has a bond energy of roughly 60 kcal/mole, this resistance to rotation stabilizes the planar configuration of this functional group.
    • As a result, certain disubstituted alkenes may exist as a pair of configurational stereoisomers, often designated cis and trans.
    • Some examples of this configurational stereoisomerism (sometimes called geometric isomerism) are shown below.
    • A similar restriction holds against cycloalkynes smaller than ten carbons.
