two teams of chemists working independently have each come up with a new approach to filling the nitrogen-sized hole in the alkene cleavage toolbox. Both methods break carbon-carbon double bonds ...

(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 ...

Site-selective C-H functionalization of alkenes, which are readily available ... namely, migration of a double bond along the hydrocarbon chain. This is expected to spark the development of ...

Whereas in Jiao’s study, titled “Catalytic remodeling of complex alkenes to oxonitriles through C=C double bond deconstruction”, a heterogeneous copper catalyst was successfully synthesized ...
