In this video lesson, we introduce conjugated dienes: compounds with alternating single and double bonds. Conjugated systems cause their pi electrons to be delocalized, which leads to many interesting properties and reactivities. We see how reactions of alkenes relate to conjugated dienes and the mixtures of products that can result. Finally, we study the topics of kinetic and thermodynamic control and how we can favor the production of kinetic and thermodynamic products.
