Alkanes: Oxidation (no reaction) Alkenes: Bromination (addition reaction) RHC = CHR + Br2 → RHBrC-CBrHR (colorless) (amber) (colorless) This reaction proceeds at room temperature and does not require ...

Wilkinson’s catalyst, formally chloridotris (triphenylphosphine)rhodium (I) [RhCl (PPh 3) 3], is a coordination complex that catalyzes a wide range of organic reactions, principally the hydrogenation ...

There are two general classes: saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes), which contain only single bonds, and unsaturated hydrocarbons (arenes, alkenes and alkynes), which also contain some C–C multiple ...
