In organic chemistry, an alkene is a hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond.[1]

Alkene is often used as synonym of olefin, that is, any hydrocarbon containing one or more double bonds.

IUPAC Nomenclature of Alkenes

  1. An alkene or cycloalkene is indicated by the suffix (ending) ene.
  2. For the root name, the longest chain must include both carbon atoms of the double bond.
  3. The root chain must be numbered beginning at the end closest to a double bond carbon atom. If the double bond is in the chain's centre, the nearest substituent rule is used to determine where the numbering begins.
  4. If the compound contains more than one double bond, it is named with a diene, triene, or equivalent prefix indicating the number of double bonds, and each double bond is assigned a locator number.
