  2. Alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkene

    Alkenes having four or more carbon atoms can form diverse structural isomers. Most alkenes are also isomers of cycloalkanes. Acyclic alkene structural isomers with only one double bond follow: [6] C 2 H 4: ethylene only; C 3 H 6: propylene only; C 4 H 8: 3 isomers: 1-butene, 2-butene, and isobutylene

  3. Terminal alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_alkene

    There are two types of alpha-olefins, branched and linear (or normal). The chemical properties of branched alpha-olefins with a branch at either the second (vinylidene) or the third carbon number are significantly different from the properties of linear alpha-olefins and those with branches on the fourth carbon number and further from the start of the chain.

  4. Pyramidal alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidal_alkene

    In one study, [3] the strained alkene 4.4 was synthesized with the highest pyramidalizion angles yet, 33.5° and 34.3°. This compound is the double Diels–Alder adduct of the diiodo cyclophane 4.1 and anthracene 4.3 by reaction in presence of potassium tert-butoxide in refluxing dibutyl ether through a di aryne intermediate 4.2 .

  5. Straight-chain terminal alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-chain_terminal_alkene

    Straight-chain terminal alkenes, also called linear alpha olefins (LAO) or normal alpha olefins (NAO), are alkenes (olefins) having a chemical formula C n H 2n, distinguished from other alkenes with a similar molecular formula by being terminal alkenes, in which the double bond occurs at the alpha (α-, 1-or primary) position, and by having a linear (unbranched) hydrocarbon chain.

  6. Rearrangement reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rearrangement_reaction

    In organic chemistry, a rearrangement reaction is a broad class of organic reactions where the carbon skeleton of a molecule is rearranged to give a structural isomer of the original molecule. [1] Often a substituent moves from one atom to another atom in the same molecule, hence these reactions are usually intramolecular. In the example below ...

  7. Hydroformylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroformylation

    Hydroformylation of an alkene (R 1 to R 3 organyl groups (i. e. alkyl-or aryl group) or hydrogen). In organic chemistry, hydroformylation, also known as oxo synthesis or oxo process, is an industrial process for the production of aldehydes (R−CH=O) from alkenes (R 2 C=CR 2).

  8. Ene reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ene_reaction

    In organic chemistry, the ene reaction (also known as the Alder-ene reaction by its discoverer Kurt Alder in 1943) is a chemical reaction between an alkene with an allylic hydrogen (the ene) and a compound containing a multiple bond (the enophile), in order to form a new σ-bond with migration of the ene double bond and 1,5 hydrogen shift.

  9. Dimethyldioxirane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyldioxirane

    Dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) is the organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 CO 2. [1] It is the dioxirane derived from acetone and can be viewed as the monomer of acetone peroxide.It is a powerful selective oxidizing agent that finds some use in organic synthesis.
