The C5-alkene diols were prepared following published synthesis procedures.

DFT calculations show that alkene addition is intrinsically more favorable, but that predistortion can lead to C-H insertion.

One important class of biological reactive intermediates arising in the course of human xenobiotic metabolism are arene and alkene oxides.

This approach provides corroborating evidence for the structures of certain bridgehead alkene natural products while leading to the reassignment of several other structures.

The modified peptides contain groups suitable for post-assembly click reactions in water, namely azides and alkenes.

Substituted alkenes provided products that contain all carbon or nitrogen bearing quaternary centers in high yield.

Of the measured compounds, reactive alkenes and CO showed the strongest potential to form ground-level ozone.

The conversions of surface-bound alkyl groups to alkanes and alkenes are important steps in many heterogeneously catalyzed reactions.

We also report the experimental studies that extend the substrate scope of alkenes to ethyl vinyl ethers and thioethers.
