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 ...

It is very important to study the name reactions for the preparation of organic compounds. In this article you will get the clue that from where and how the questions are being framed in the name ...

A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...

Although many organisms respond to light, very few enzymes inside those organisms use light directly as an energy source for catalysis. Researchers now report a new light-driven enzyme: Christened ...

The second homologous series is the alkenes. Their names all end in –ene, for example ethene. Alkenes all contain a carbon to carbon double bond which makes them more reactive than the alkanes. The ...
