Figure 1: Previous and current reports on the anti-Markovnikov addition of nucleophiles to alkenes. Figure 2: Proposed catalytic cycle for the anti-Markovnikov hydrohalogenation of styrenyl alkenes.

image: The first iron-catalyzed phosphinoylazidation of alkenes under relatively mild reaction conditions affording compounds containing nitrogen and phosphorus is reported. This method is practically ...

This protocol describes the catalytic asymmetric formation of all-carbon quaternary centers—a distinctive feature of many natural products and pharmaceuticals—via conjugate addition of alkylzirconium ...

A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...

Cyclopropanes are a common motif in medicinal chemistry. Three-carbon rings show up in drug structures for conditions including asthma, psoriasis, and COVID-19. But despite its utility, cyclopropane ...

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.

As a footnote to Mark M. Green’s letter on how to make organic chemistry “be part of understanding the wider world, to be worth knowing” (Jan. 2, 2023, page 3), I wish to illustrate my approach to “a ...
