Alkenes are more reactive than alkanes and cycloalkanes because they have a double bond. While alkanes, alkenes and cycloalkanes undergo combustion reactions with oxygen, only alkenes can participate ...

Addition reactions involve two or more reactants combining to form a single product, often seen with alkenes. These reactions create more complex organic molecules, which are essential in the ...

Activation parameters are reported for ClCCF3 additions to three alkenes (tetramethylethylene, cyclohexene, and 1-hexene). The results are compared to those for CCl2, CClF, and CF2. Activation ...

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, ...

Absolute rate constants of *R(f)SO(3)(-) radical addition to a series of water-soluble alkenes containing ionic, carboxylate substituents were measured by laser flash photolysis experiments in water.

In a development that could revise organic chemistry textbooks, a new catalytic version of alkene dichlorination makes the reaction more versatile. Now, researchers have devised the first catalytic ...

Those with only carbon-carbon single bonds are saturated. If a compound contains at least one carbon-carbon double bond it is unsaturated and can undergo addition reactions. For example, alkenes can ...

An atom transfer radical addition elimination (ATRE) reaction of terminal alkenes with perfluoroalkyl halides under visible light is described. The photoredox catalysis with Eosin Y provides ...
