The old name for this class of compounds comes from their tendency to be oily liquids--though those with molar mass less than 70 tend to be found in the gaseous state. They can be reduced by hydrogen gas over palladium; they can be oxidized by permanganate ion, and cleaved by ozone. Addition reactions are classified as Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov, and the Wittig reaction selectively converts them to carbonyl compounds. Name this class of compounds, once called olefins, which, FTP, contain double bonds.
