Efficient alkane oxidation under combustion engine and atmospheric conditions. Communications Chemistry , 2021; 4 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s42004-020-00445-3 Cite This Page : ...

In a recent study published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces on November 1, 2024, the team successfully developed a promising catalyst that could revolutionize the selective oxidation of alkanes.

Figure 6: Hypothetical sequence for alkane oxidation to alcohol by O 2 and catalysed by a Pt(II) complex. The four individual steps—electrophilic activation of alkane at Pt(II), oxidation of RPt ...

Direct functionalization of alkanes by oxidation of C–H bonds to form alcohols under mild conditions is a challenge for synthetic chemistry. Most alkanes contain a large number of C–H bonds ...

The study has a far-reaching impact as the alkane oxidation process performed by this type of microorganism is a crucial element of the biological filter existing in marine seeps, preventing ...

Alkanes, an important component of fuels for combustion engines and an important class of urban trace gases, react via another reaction pathways than previously thought. These hydrocarbons ...

This so-called anaerobic oxidation of alkanes is an important yet poorly understood microbial process. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, ...

A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...
