This causes a smoky flame. Alkenes have a functional group C=C – the part of the molecule that takes part in reactions. Alkanes, in contrast, do not have a functional group and are less reactive ...

An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons. Researchers have developed ...

Researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan have made a significant breakthrough in organic chemistry by developing a novel ...

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 ...

A reaction mechanism for prediction of OH*, CH* and C2* chemiluminescent species Detection of non-intrusive OH*, CH* and C2* species is frequently used in the diagnostics A reaction model of such ...

For example, ethene reacts with water (in the presence of heat and a catalyst) to produce the alcohol ethanol. Addition polymerisation uses addition reactions to turn alkenes into polymers.

An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons. An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons.

an alkene and an oxime. These reactions require a photocatalyst, which absorbs light and passes the energy to the reactants, ...

Trisubstituted alkenes are major constituents of biologically active molecules and serve as key substrates for a broad range of stereospecific reactions that form sp 3-hybridized scaffolds.
