DFT calculations as well as a current program of developing a wide range of alkylphosphine analogs indicate that lower alkene insertion barriers are due to a combination of high phosphine trans ...

Molecules known as olefins have double bonds, or alkenes, between two carbon atoms. The atoms, and those attached to them, ...

The carbons of the alkene functional group, the site of unsaturation, are in the rounded rectangle. Since there is only one double bond, oleic acid is an example of a monounsaturated fatty acid.

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 Conduct Demonstration: Pour two samples of ...

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

Bromine water is an orange solution of bromine. It becomes colourless when it is shaken with an alkene. Alkenes can decolourise bromine water, but alkanes cannot. The slideshow shows this process.
