(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 ...

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 ...

Bromine water is an orange solution of bromine. It becomes colourless when it is shaken with an alkene. Alkenes can decolourise bromine water, but alkanes cannot. The slideshow shows this process.

Despite significant advances in alkene production ... Their new method combines two known chemical reactions—photocatalytic ...

It is desirable therefore for such students to develop a basic appreciation of the fundamental reactions in organic chemistry, as well as an understanding of the interaction of organic compounds with ...

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 ...
