Our method displays broad substrate scope and tolerates a wide range of functional groups. Indeed, as well as various linear terminal alkenes, several more sterically congested terminal alkenes ...

Polyborylated-alkenes are valuable polymetalloid reagents in modern organic synthesis, providing access to a wide array of transformations, including the construction of multiple C–C and C–heteroatom ...

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 ...

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 ...

Alkenes are incredibly common in the molecular world, so researchers constantly seek more ways to use them in chemical transformations. Now, two independent teams have uncovered new alkene reactivity ...

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 ...

For the first time, chemists have discovered a unique way to control and modify a type of compound widely used in medicines, including a drug used to treat breast cancer. Subscribe to our newsletter ...

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

Part of Chemistry (Single Science) Chemicals of the natural environment The table shows the first four alkenes, their molecular formulae, displayed formulae, structural formulae as well as a drawing ...
