(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 ...

The researchers focused on the oxidation of isobutane, a simple four-carbon alkane, into tert-butyl alcohol as a representative reaction with multiple applications. "In our preliminary ...

This review summarizes the catalytic performance of various metal-based catalysts in the CO2-assisted oxidative dehydrogenation of light alkanes, with the goal of identifying catalyst systems that ...

Students will therefore be expected to secure a basic undersanding of, e.g., chemical bonding, the chemistry of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic compounds, substitution and elimination reactions, ...

The alkanes, alkenes and cycloalkanes are examples ... heat energy and light energy to the surroundings in exothermic reactions known as combustion reactions. The energy released can be calculated ...

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 ...
