In a study published in Journal of the American Chemical Society, a team led by Prof. CHEN Qing'an from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a ...

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 ...

Scent is essential to ant society: every ant within a colony wears the badge of membership in the form of smelly hydrocarbons ...

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 ...

Ants exposed to air pollution face aggression from their own nestmates, according to a new study that sheds more light on the ...

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 ...

Pharmaceutically important and highly functional dialkyl ether structures have been synthesized from alkenes in just one rapid step, using a triple catalysis of light-mediated material, cobalt, and ...

In this article we are going to share the various methods to prepare the alkene and specially the ozonolysis of alkenes to know the number and position of double bond present in the alkene compounds.
