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.

Peroxy acids, such as meta -chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA), are used to convert alkenes into epoxides (oxiranes). This reaction is highly useful in organic synthesis for introducing a reactive three ...

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, ...

As a footnote to Mark M. Green’s letter on how to make organic chemistry “be part of understanding the wider world, to be worth knowing” (Jan. 2, 2023, page 3), I wish to illustrate my approach to “a ...

Installing directing groups, tiny signposts that tell a functional group where to attach to a molecule, is time consuming, but usually necessary. Ming Joo Koh and colleagues at the National University ...

The Diels-Alder reaction is a [4+2] cycloaddition between a conjugated diene and a dienophile to form a cyclohexene ring. It is a stereospecific reaction, meaning the stereochemistry of the reactants ...

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.
