Normal alkanes C n H 2n+2 are extended linear chain molecules that form ordered lamellar structures and crystals. When the size of the chains reaches n > 120, such ultra-long alkanes manifest chain ...

Carbon-hydrogen bond activation took a big step forward in 2000 when John F. Hartwig and coworkers reported an organometallic catalyst capable of directly converting normally unreactive alkanes into ...

Although many organisms respond to light, very few enzymes inside those organisms use light directly as an energy source for catalysis. Researchers now report a new light-driven enzyme: Christened ...

In 2025, scientists reported the discovery of long-chain organic molecules called alkanes in the ancient mudstones of Mars. Now, in a new study, a team led by Alexander Pavlov of NASA's Goddard Space ...

Organic molecules found by the Curiosity rover are too common to be explained by any process we know, other than life, according to a new study. That, of course, doesn’t rule out the possibility that ...

In this article we are going to share the various methods to prepare the alkene and specially the ozonolysis of alkenes to know the number and position of double bond present in the alkene compounds.
