The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive ... The rapid disappearance of the amber color of the bromine at room temperature is ...

Bromine water is an orange solution of bromine. It becomes colourless when it is shaken with an alkene. Alkenes can decolourise bromine water, but alkanes cannot. The slideshow shows this process.

Instead, chemical reactions involving alkenes—particularly their ozonolysis—emerged as the dominant mechanism. Ozonolysis of alkenes produces Criegee intermediates, unstable molecules that ...

Straightforward skeletal editing chemistry now enables the direct insertion of nitrogen into carbon–carbon double bonds.

Whereas in Jiao’s study, titled “Catalytic remodeling of complex alkenes to oxonitriles through C=C double bond deconstruction”, a heterogeneous copper catalyst was successfully synthesized ...
