"Products with double bonds—called alkenes—can be extremely useful. However, sometimes a single bond instead of a double bond ...

In a breakthrough that challenges long-held conventions in organic synthesis, researchers have successfully created a class ...

(colorless) (purple) (colorless) (brown ppt.) Reaction of an alkene with aqueous potassium permanganate results in addition of two hydroxyl groups to each side of the double bond to form a glycol. To ...

Molecules known as olefins have double bonds, or alkenes, between two carbon atoms. The atoms, and those attached to them, ...

The carbons of the alkene functional group, the site of unsaturation, are in the rounded rectangle. Since there is only one double bond, oleic acid is an example of a monounsaturated fatty acid.
