Unactivated alkanes are difficult to functionalize, and most catalysts that derivatize them by opening hydrocarbon C–H bonds are based on precious transition metals. Researchers have now ...

The selective conversion of abundant and inexpensive alkane feedstocks into value-added speciality chemicals is a significant and challenging goal, and methods for catalytically converting alkanes ...

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 ...

SAE International Journal of Engines, Vol. 9, No. 2 (June 2016), pp. 1241-1246 (6 pages) ABSTRACT The oxidation of short-chain alkanes, such as methane, ethane, and propane, from the exhaust of ...
