In a study published in Journal of the American Chemical Society, a team led by Prof. CHEN Qing'an from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a ...

In a development that could revise organic chemistry textbooks, a new catalytic version of alkene dichlorination makes the reaction more versatile. Now, researchers have devised the first catalytic ...

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.

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 ...

A team led by Abigail Doyle at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that phosphines can show transition- metal-like reactivity in a light-driven reaction between amine-containing rings and ...

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.
