Alkene reactions
In this tutorial, Sal introduces reaction mechanisms and demonstrates a few reactions of alkenes.
Alkene nomenclature
In this tutorial, Jay names alkenes, discusses the stability of alkenes, and introduces the E/Z system.

alkyne acidity and alkylation

preparation of alkynes
Note that if a terminal alkyne is produced, the strong base will deprotonate the alkyne to form an alkynide anion. A proton source (like H2O) must be added to regenerate the terminal alkyne.
Naming and preparing alkynes
In this tutorial, Jay covers the nomenclature and preparation of alkynes, the acidity of terminal alkynes, and the alkylation of alkynes.
