Alkene

transesterification wherein an ester is changed into another via the reaction with an alcohol (the alkyl group of the ester is interchanged with the R’ group of the alcohol, carbonylation wherein an alkene undergoes hydroesterification in the presence of metal carbonyl catalysts, Addition of carboxylic acids to alkenes,the Pinner reaction wherein nitrile is reacted to an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst, and Baeyer–Villiger oxidation wherein a ketone is oxidized by treatment with…

Carcinogenic Chemical Product: Fire Retardants Fire safety is a vital part of the modern technological society and as responsible citizens it is important to recognise that, with the aid of fire retardants, there is a prolong time frame of escaping from fires. This widely used carcinogenic product is composed of certain chemical elements within numerous everyday products (either inside the polymeric material or as an external layer) that help combat the ignition through chemical reactions at…

Background This experiment was performed to determine the identity of an unknown organic liquid using physical constants: physical state, color, and odor, the solubility classification: water soluble or insoluble, the results of characterization tests: Lucas test, 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine test, Bromine in Methylene Chloride test, and Ferric hydroxamate test, and analyses of spectral data: IR spectrum and HNMR . All testing samples were added to testing tubes for observation. Data was…

thermoplastic or polyalkene because it has a waxy texture.” (What is a Polyolefin? n.d.) The second question to ask is, how is a polyolefin made? Polyolefins are made by olefin polymerization. Olefins are organic hydrocarbons and are commonly known as alkenes. Olefins are made of 4 hydrogen atoms and a double-bonded pair of carbon atoms. Some of the compound olefins that have been used in the production of polyolefin include ethylene, propylene, butadiene, and butanes. Most olefins derive…

This is cleaned with water and ethanol followed by etching with 10:1 HF to remove the native oxides. This is directly dipped into 10% 10-undecanoic acid in deaerated toluene for 19h, with exposure to 352 nm ultraviolet light for photoactivated alkene insertion into Si-H bonds, which creates a carboxylate-terminated surface. The Au electrode was cleaned and immersed into 1mM 11-Mercaptoundecanoic acid and 50mM phosphate buffer for about 17h to form a carboxylate-terminated self-assembled…
