Figure 1: Challenges and application potentials for the palladium-catalysed Markovnikov alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes. In addition to ethene, propene and butene are the most important industrial ...

Hydrocarbons – because they contain hydrogen and carbon only. Unsaturated – because they contain at least one C=C. Each alkene containing one C=C has two fewer hydrogen atoms than the corresponding ...

The rapid advances made in synthetic organic fluorine chemistry over the past decade have led to the design of yet another sought-after reaction. Harvard University’s Eric N. Jacobsen and coworkers ...

Part of Chemistry (Single Science) Chemicals of the natural environment The general formula for the alkanes is C n H 2n+2 (where n is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule). The table shows four ...
