While most alkenes are easy to prepare, a specific type with four different parts—called tetrasubstituted alkenes—is much more challenging, but used to make cancer-fighting medicines and ...

A photocatalytic flow process activates simple gaseous alkanes for an atom economic late-stage alkylation of pharmaceutical heterocycles. The inherently scalable process employs cheap and abundant ...

Australia’s Alkane Resources (ASX:ALK) has announced it will acquire Canadian miner Mandalay Resources (TSX: MND) in an all-share transaction valued at approximately A$560 million, or US$358 million.

I tested Gemini 2.5 Pro vs Claude 4 Sonnet with the same 7 prompts — here’s who came out on top I just tested the newest versions of ChatGPT vs Gemini vs DeepSeek vs Claude — and the winner ...

Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes.

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable ...

To address this issue, scientists have focused on cyclopropanes, a specific type of alkane with a ring structure that makes them more reactive than other alkanes.

Normal alkanes CnH2n+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 ...

The Co(I) complex, [Co(N2)(CyPNP)] (CyPNP = anion of 2,5-bis-(dicyclohexylphosphinomethyl)pyrrole), is active toward the catalytic hydrogenation of terminal alkenes and the semi-hydrogenation of ...
