A critical chemical bond can be assembled using dinitrogen (N 2)—a molecule freely available in the air around us—chemists at RIKEN have shown in a new article published in Nature. This demonstration ...

A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...

Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Chemists from the National University of ...

The rapid advances made in synthetic organic fluorine chemistry over the past decade have led to the design of yet another sought-after reaction. Harvard University’s Eric N. Jacobsen and coworkers ...

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 ...

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.

The general formula for the alkenes is C n H 2n (where n is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule).
