Carbon-hydrogen bond activation took a big step forward in 2000 when John F. Hartwig and coworkers reported an organometallic catalyst capable of directly converting normally unreactive alkanes into ...

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 ...

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

This article discusses AFM studies of self-assembled semi-fluorinated alkanes on Silicon, HOPG, and MoS 2 substrates. Covalently linked sequences of -CF 2 - and -CH 2 - groups with -CF 3 and -CH 3 - ...

Chemists from the University of Groningen have found a simple way to produce previously inaccessible chiral Z-alkenes, molecules that offer a significant synthetic short-cut for the production of ...

Reactions that completely break carbon-carbon double bonds have particular transformative power in synthesis. Ozonolysis, which splits one alkene into two carbonyl compounds using trioxygen, is widely ...

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.
