They can be prepared by dehalogenation of a vicinyl dihalide or via dehydration of an alcohol. Said to be characteristically unsaturated, their main features are sp2-hybridized. The characteristic feature of these compounds consists of a pi bond resulting from the side-to-side overlap of the remaining p orbital on each carbon. Consisting of the general formula CnH2n, the most notable examples include propene and ethylene. FTP, name this general class of organic compounds
