(colorless) (purple) (colorless) (brown ppt.) 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 ...

Alkenes play a crucial role in producing ... Their new method combines two known chemical reactions—photocatalytic radical addition and Norrish type II reaction—into a single, seamless process ...

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 ...

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 ...

This causes a smoky flame. Alkenes have a functional group C=C – the part of the molecule that takes part in reactions. Alkanes, in contrast, do not have a functional group and are less reactive ...
