  2. Cis–trans isomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis–trans_isomerism

    These differences can be very small, as in the case of the boiling point of straight-chain alkenes, such as pent-2-ene, which is 37 °C in the cis isomer and 36 °C in the trans isomer. [5] The differences between cis and trans isomers can be larger if polar bonds are present, as in the 1,2-dichloroethenes.

  3. Alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkene

    Alkene. In organic chemistry, an alkene, or olefin, is a hydrocarbon containing a carbon –carbon double bond. [1] The double bond may be internal or in the terminal position. Terminal alkenes are also known as α-olefins. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) recommends using the name "alkene" only for acyclic ...

  4. Alkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkane

    Alkane. In organic chemistry, an alkane, or paraffin (a historical trivial name that also has other meanings), is an acyclic saturated hydrocarbon. In other words, an alkane consists of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a tree structure in which all the carbon–carbon bonds are single. [1] Alkanes have the general chemical formula CnH2n+2.

  5. 1-Octadecene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Octadecene

    Infobox references. 1-Octadecene is a long-chain hydrocarbon and an alkene with the molecular formula CH 2 =CH (CH 2) 15 CH 3. It is one of many isomers of octadecene. Classified as an alpha-olefin, 1-octadecene is the longest alkene that is liquid at room temperature. [3][2]

  6. 1-Octene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Octene

    1-Octene is an organic compound with a formula CH 2 CHC 6 H 13. The alkene is classified as a higher olefin and alpha-olefin, meaning that the double bond is located at the alpha (primary) position, endowing this compound with higher reactivity and thus useful chemical properties. 1-Octene is one of the important linear alpha olefins in industry.

  7. Octene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octene

    1-octene. Octene is an alkene with the formula C 8 H 16.Several isomers of octene are known, depending on the position and the geometry of the double bond in the carbon chain.. The simplest isomer is 1-octene, an alpha-olefin used primarily as a co-monomer in production of polyethylene via the solution polymerization process.

    Pd + 2 CuCl 2 + 2 Cl − → [PdCl 4] 2− + 2 CuCl 2 CuCl + ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ O 2 + 2 HCl → 2 CuCl 2 + H 2 O. Only the alkene and oxygen are consumed. Without copper(II) chloride as an oxidizing agent, Pd(0) metal (resulting from beta-hydride elimination of Pd(II) in the final step) would precipitate, stopping the reaction after one cycle. This ...

  9. Prins reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prins_reaction

    RXNO:0000048. The Prins reaction is an organic reaction consisting of an electrophilic addition of an aldehyde or ketone to an alkene or alkyne followed by capture of a nucleophile or elimination of an H + ion. [1][2][3] The outcome of the reaction depends on reaction conditions. With water and a protic acid such as sulfuric acid as the ...
