Meanwhile, Ning Jiao and his team at Peking University split alkenes into a nitrile and a ketone using an azide reagent, molecular oxygen, and a zeolite-supported copper catalyst (Science 2025 DOI ...

Addition reactions involving a halogen (halogenation) Halogenation is an addition reaction where halogens, such as chlorine or bromine, are added to unsaturated organic compounds like alkenes. This ...

Two new catalytic methods offer ways to tackle longstanding challenges in alkene synthesis. Alkenes are essential chemical building blocks used in the manufacture of everyday items such as plastics ...

Herein, the convenient one-step electrochemical bromination of glycals using Bu 4 NBr as the brominating source under metal-catalyst-free and oxidant-free reaction conditions was described. A series ...

Selective C−H Halogenation of Alkenes and Alkynes Using Flavin‐Dependent Halogenases Journal: Angewandte Chemie International Edition Published: 2024-03-22 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202317860 ...

As a result, a group headed by Prof. Yujie Xiong and Prof. Ran Long from the University of Science and Technology (USTC) developed an effective photocatalytic methane halogenation technology that uses ...

This article discusses AFM studies of self-assembled semi-fluorinated alkanes on Silicon, HOPG, and MoS2 substrates. Covalently linked sequences of -CF 2 - and -CH 2 - groups with -CF 3 and -CH 3 - ...

Normal alkanes CnH2n+2 are extended linear chain molecules that form ordered lamellar structures and crystals. When the size of the chains reaches n > 120, such ultra-long alkanes manifest chain ...

The vicinal functionalization of alkenes is an important process in synthetic organic chemistry and several methodologies are described in the literature. 1 Among them, the so-called "cohalogenation" ...
