Chemical groups containing oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, and other heteroatoms often react during alkene coupling reactions, generating undesirable product mixtures. But a new, iron-catalyzed radical ...

NUS chemists have developed a new way to access prized tri- and tetrasubstituted alkenes through a nickel-catalyzed tandem process involving a Heck reaction followed by carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technique that allows direct functionalization of alkenes without the need for metallic reagents, photolysis or extreme reaction conditions. Researchers at Kanazawa ...

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.

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 ...

Complete combustion of alkenes produces carbon dioxide and water, provided there is a plentiful supply of oxygen. Incomplete combustion of alkenes occurs where oxygen is limited and produces water, ...

The second homologous series is the alkenes. Their names all end in –ene, for example ethene. Alkenes all contain a carbon to carbon double bond which makes them more reactive than the alkanes. The ...
