Organic molecules, which contain carbon, typically conform to specific shapes because of the way their atoms bond together.

The table shows the first four alkenes, their molecular formulae, displayed formulae, structural formulae as well as a drawing of their ball-and-stick constructional models.

Photocatalyst makes complex alkenes from acids, alkanes or alcohols, while a 'phase-pure' iron catalyst reduces unwanted ...

Two research groups propose new synthetic strategies for making 'impossible' molecules, defying a 100-year-old bonding rule ...

Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Chemists from the National University of ...

UCLA chemists have overturned a century-old rule in organic chemistry that limited molecular design by proving that ...

According to Bredt's rule, double bonds cannot exist at certain positions on organic molecules if the molecule's geometry deviates too far from what we learn in textbooks. This rule has constrained ...

Associate Professor Wu Jie and his research group from the Department of Chemistry at NUS ... reagent" to help create alkenes. By fine-tuning the reaction parameters of the vinyl ketone, they ...

Alkenes play a crucial role in producing everyday products such as plastics, synthetic rubber, and fine chemicals, making them indispensable in modern chemistry and industry.

UCLA chemists have found a big problem with a fundamental rule of organic chemistry that has been around for 100 years—it's ...
