E Z Alkenes Electrophilic Addition Carbocations - Crash Course Organic Chemistry

The video tutorial explores the role of isoprene in nature, its chemical properties, and its reactions. It delves into alkene nomenclature, including the limitations of the cis-trans system and the use of the E/Z system for precision. The tutorial also covers addition reactions of alkenes, focusing on carbocation stability and the application of Markovnikov's rule. It explains carbocation rearrangements, such as 1,2-alkyl and hydride shifts, to form more stable intermediates.
