two teams of chemists working independently have each come up with a new approach to filling the nitrogen-sized hole in the alkene cleavage toolbox. Both methods break carbon-carbon double bonds ...

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 ...

This reaction can also be viewed as alkene ‘hydroacylation,’ the addition of a hydrogen and an acyl group across a double bond. Our initial research in this area will focus upon understanding the ...

Whereas in Jiao’s study, titled “Catalytic remodeling of complex alkenes to oxonitriles through C=C double bond deconstruction”, a heterogeneous copper catalyst was successfully synthesized ...
