A team of researchers led by Das and Matthias Beller of the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis designed a light-activated iron catalyst that plucks oxygen atoms from CO 2 at room temperature and uses ...

We decided to evaluate the use of alkenes as alkylmetal equivalents in catalytic asymmetric conjugate addition (ACA). These reactions would be strategically important because they would accomplish ...

The second homologous series is the alkenes. Their names all end in –ene, for example ethene. Alkenes all contain a carbon to carbon double bond which makes them more reactive than the alkanes. The ...
