Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes ...

A new development allowing the use of catalytic phosphorus reagents promises ... to reinvigorate the area of alkene synthesis from carbonyl compounds 3. The reaction between phosphorus ylides ...

Trisubstituted alkenes are major constituents of biologically active molecules and serve as key substrates for a broad range of stereospecific reactions that form sp 3-hybridized scaffolds.

However, the development of reagents that can selectively ... CN 2 transfers to alkenes in multi-substituted pyrazoles. Ultimately, in the reaction with carbonyl compounds, a carbon atom transfer ...

Aliphatic compounds are generally less reactive towards sulfonating reagents than aromatic ... conveniently obtained indirectly by reaction of the appropriate alkyl halide with sodium sulfite or ...

Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen characterize novel enzymes from deep-sea microbes ...

Like all other reactions in organic chemistry, there is an underlying mechanism through which alkenes are converted ... and the number of electrons in the reagents and those in the product or ...

Researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan have made a significant breakthrough in organic chemistry by developing a novel method to activate alkanes, which are compounds that play a crucial role ...

For example, ethene reacts with water (in the presence of heat and a catalyst) to produce the alcohol ethanol. Addition polymerisation uses addition reactions to turn alkenes into polymers.
