These compounds are formed from beta-halo-ethers in the Boord synthesis.
These compounds are formed from beta-halo-ethers in the Boord synthesis. Grubbs catalysts facilitate a reaction used for ring closure, their metathesis. Ones with hydroxyl groups are called enols. Hydroboration reactions violate a rule regarding their protonation, Markovnikoff's rule, and they are produced from an aldehyde and a phosphonium ylide ["ILL-ide"] in the Wittig reaction. With cis and trans isomers, the simplest one is C2H4, or ethylene. They are unsaturated, unlike alkanes. For 10 points, name these organic compounds with carbon-carbon double bonds.
