The selective conversion of alkenes into alcohols is a cornerstone of modern chemical synthesis, underpinning the production ...

We decided to evaluate the use of alkenes as alkylmetal equivalents in catalytic asymmetric conjugate addition (ACA). These reactions would be strategically important because they would accomplish ...

Chemists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung have developed a practical two-step method for alkylating alkenes via thianthrenation, addressing a long-standing synthetic challenge. This ...

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.

A line structure of a molecule derived from the natural product 3-carene; the parent 3-carene structure, featuring a six-carbon ring with a double bond, is in blue and the added portion, featuring a ...

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 ...
