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.
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.
