Chemical groups containing oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, and other heteroatoms often react during alkene coupling reactions, generating undesirable product mixtures. But a new, iron-catalyzed radical ...

Cyclopropanes are a common motif in medicinal chemistry. Three-carbon rings show up in drug structures for conditions including asthma, psoriasis, and COVID-19. But despite its utility, cyclopropane ...

Researchers synthesized weird molecules that exist in three dimensions, breaking Bredt's rule and helping to develop future ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By ...

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, ...

Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking ...

The second homologous series is the alkenes. Their names all end in –ene, for example ethene. Alkenes all contain a carbon to carbon double bond which makes them more reactive than the alkanes. The ...

CBSE Class 12 Important Chemical Reactions: The CBSE Class 12 Chemistry exam for 2026 is scheduled for February-March. The exam will cover physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry, so it’s important ...
