A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...

Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Chemists from the National University of ...

The third homologous series is the cycloalkanes. Their names all end in –ane and begin with cyclo-, for example cyclopropane. The cycloalkanes have the general formula \({C_n}{H_{2n}}\). Even though ...

In this article we are going to share the various methods to prepare the alkene and specially the ozonolysis of alkenes to know the number and position of double bond present in the alkene compounds.

Although many organisms respond to light, very few enzymes inside those organisms use light directly as an energy source for catalysis. Researchers now report a new light-driven enzyme: Christened ...

A major advance in alkene oligomerization catalysis was Brookhart’s 1995 report of highly active group 10 metal diimine systems. In contrast to nickel and palladium catalysts, the corresponding ...

Looking to turn simple alkenes into more complex molecules, chemists at Colorado State University report a stereospecific carboamination of C=C bonds. The reaction provides a new way to synthesize ...
