This document provides an overview of alkene chemistry. It discusses naming conventions for alkenes, including identifying the longest carbon chain and numbering substituents. It also covers structural features of alkenes like double bond geometry, stereochemistry including cis-trans isomers, and spectroscopic properties detectable by NMR and IR. Common reactions for alkene synthesis are reviewed, including elimination and dehydration reactions. Relative stabilities of different alkene structural isomers are compared.
