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 ...

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.

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, ...

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 ...

Complete combustion of alkenes produces carbon dioxide and water, provided there is a plentiful supply of oxygen. Incomplete combustion of alkenes occurs where oxygen is limited and produces water, ...
