Hydrocarbons – because they contain hydrogen and carbon only. Unsaturated – because they contain at least one C=C. Each alkene containing one C=C has two fewer hydrogen atoms than the ...

Bromine water is an orange solution of bromine. It becomes colourless when it is shaken with an alkene. Alkenes can decolourise bromine water, but alkanes cannot. The slideshow shows this process.

Straightforward skeletal editing chemistry now enables the direct insertion of nitrogen into carbon–carbon double bonds.

This reaction proceeds at room temperature and does not require sunlight or UV radiation to initiate it. The rapid disappearance of the amber color of the bromine at room temperature is characteristic ...

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 ...

For chemical reactions, the most important electrons ... When the excited states of an alkene and an oxime are closely ...

Herein, the authors report visible-light-induced metal-free hydrosilylation of unactivated alkenes with hydrosilacyclobutanes ... aryl sulfones in medicinal chemistry as they have improved ...

In addition to well-known challenges for dicarbofunctionalization of unactivated alkenes, the main obstacles ... In a study published in Chem Catalysis, Prof. Wang Peng and colleagues at Shanghai ...
