Complete combustion of alkenes produces carbon dioxide and water, provided there is a plentiful supply of oxygen. Incomplete combustion of alkenes occurs where oxygen is limited and produces water ...

Straightforward skeletal editing chemistry now enables the direct insertion of nitrogen into carbon–carbon double bonds.

Photos © Michael Davidson and The Florida State University These photos show the 60-carbon alkene buckminsterfullerene ("buckyballs"). This substance joins graphite ...

(B) This is the structure of oleic acid, an 18-carbon unsaturated fat. The carbons of the alkene functional group, the site of unsaturation, are in the rounded rectangle. Since there is only one ...

One-pot reductive hydroformylation of alkenes provides a facile and atom-economic method for the synthesis of single-carbon homologous alcohols. However, the reaction catalyzed by a stable and ...

Such extensions will include the use of more complex ketones and alkenes for the simultaneous generation and control of multiple stereocenters. They focus upon the development of new methodology ...

The researchers developed self-assembling small-molecule catalysts containing the metal palladium that can cleave a bond ...
