Hydrocarbons – because they contain hydrogen and carbon only. Unsaturated – because they contain at least one C=C. Each alkene containing one C=C has two fewer hydrogen atoms than the ...

The table shows the first four alkenes, their molecular formulae, displayed formulae, structural formulae as well as a drawing of their ball-and-stick constructional models.

Organic chemistry is the study of the synthesis ... The hydroallylation of alkenes represents a straightforward method for the construction of chain elongated alkenes. Here the authors report ...

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

A groundbreaking discovery by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has challenged a long-standing ...

Students will therefore be expected to secure a basic undersanding of, e.g., chemical bonding, the chemistry of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic compounds, substitution and elimination reactions, ...

UCLA chemists have found a big problem with a fundamental rule of organic chemistry that has been around ... Molecules known ...

Liu Guosheng at Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Chinese Academy ... selectively oxidation of C(sp 3)-H on a range of alkenes and alkynes. Researchers found that employing fluoro ...
