- A Researchers have developed a novel method to activate alkanes using confined chiral Brønsted acids.
- It is significantly enhancing the efficiency and selectivity of chemical reactions.
- Alkanes are organic compounds that consist entirely of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms and lack any other functional groups.
- They are also relatively inert biologically and are not often involved in the chemistry of living organisms.
- Alkanes do, however, react with oxygen, halogens, and a few other substances under appropriate conditions.
- Reaction with oxygen occurs during combustion in an engine or furnace when an alkane is used as a fuel.
