Peroxy acids, such as meta -chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA), are used to convert alkenes into epoxides (oxiranes). This ...

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.

The second homologous series is the alkenes. Their names all end in –ene, for example ethene. Alkenes all contain a carbon to carbon double bond which makes them more reactive than the alkanes. The ...

The Diels-Alder reaction is a [4+2] cycloaddition between a conjugated diene and a dienophile to form a cyclohexene ring. It ...

The third homologous series is the cycloalkanes. Their names all end in –ane and begin with cyclo-, for example cyclopropane. The cycloalkanes have the general formula \({C_n}{H_{2n}}\). Even though ...
