Alkanes - chiral Brønsted acids

October 31 , 2024 157 days 238 0
  • 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.
