Water solubility and Henry’s law constant in alkanes found in crude oil have been calculated and set in an easy-to-use table. Water solubility and Henry’s law constant in alkanes found in ...

Alkane Dehydrogenation An unsolved challenge in catalysis is the efficient and selective functionalization of simple alkanes and plentiful hydrocarbon feedstocks. One promising approach since the late ...

We were also delighted to observe that a substrate featuring an internal alkyne (Table 3, entry 17) and an alkene bearing multiple functional groups (entry 18) could undergo HM–ACA.

Researchers now report a new light-driven enzyme: Christened fatty acid photodecarboxylase (FAP), it uses blue light to drive the removal of carboxyl groups from fatty acids to form alkanes or ...

Alkanes: Oxidation (no reaction) Alkenes: Bromination (addition reaction) RHC = CHR + Br2 → RHBrC-CBrHR (colorless) (amber) (colorless) This reaction proceeds at room temperature and does not require ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable ...

Discover the differences between alkanes and alkenes, and learn about the properties and uses of polymers with BBC Bitesize GCSE Chemistry (WJEC).

The alkanes, alkenes and cycloalkanes are examples of homologous series. A homologous series is a group of chemicals which have similar chemical properties and can be represented by a general formula.
