A critical chemical bond can be assembled using dinitrogen (N 2)—a molecule freely available in the air around us—chemists at RIKEN have shown in a new article published in Nature. This demonstration ...

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 ...

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, ...

For the first time, chemists have discovered a unique way to control and modify a type of compound widely used in medicines, including a drug used to treat breast cancer. Subscribe to our newsletter ...

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.

The general formula for the alkenes is C n H 2n (where n is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule).
