Straight-chain terminal alkenes, also called linear alpha olefins (LAO) or normal alpha olefins (NAO), are alkenes (olefins) having a chemical formula...

an alkene, or olefin, is a hydrocarbon containing a carbon–carbon double bond. The double bond may be internal or at the terminal position. Terminal alkenes...

on opposite sides of the chain. As a result, they do not cause the chain to bend much, and their shape is similar to straight saturated fatty acids. In...

alcohols are produced by hydroformylation of alkenes followed by hydrogenation. When applied to a terminal alkene, as is common, one typically obtains a linear...

however operate better with straight-chain hydrocarbons. Trans-alkenes are about 1 kcal/mol more stable than cis-alkenes. An example of this effect is...

Fatty alcohols (or long-chain alcohols) are usually high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary alcohols, but can also range from as few as 4–6 carbons...

refers to the straight chain isomer with the alcohol functional group at the terminal carbon, which is also known as 1-butanol. The straight chain isomer with...

where one wishes to emphasize or distinguish between the straight-chain and branched-chain isomers, e.g., "n-butane" rather than simply "butane" to differentiate...

is an industrial process for the production of aldehydes (R−CH=O) from alkenes (R2C=CR2). This chemical reaction entails the net addition of a formyl...

ordering of side chains (e.g. 3-ethyl-2,4-dimethylpentane, not 2,4-dimethyl-3-ethylpentane). Alkenes are named for their parent alkane chain with the suffix...

is a white, flaky solid. It is a saturated long-chain fatty alcohol consisting of a pentadecane chain with a hydroxy group as substituent on one end....

Isomerate is obtained by isomerizing low-octane straight-run gasoline into iso-paraffins (non-chain alkanes, such as isooctane). Isomerate has a medium...

carbon–carbon bonds are single. Alkene An unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains at least one carbon–carbon double bond. The words alkene and olefin are often used...

is rapidly hydrolyzed in the blood by esterases into nandrolone, with a terminal half-life of one hour or less. It does not appear to be hydrolyzed in muscle...

molecules with -OH, -COOH, -NH2, -CONH2, -CHO, -COCl, -SH, -CNO, -CN, alkenes, etc. functional groups. The bifunctional nature of the precursors is essential...

a unique simple compound [e.g., fucoserratene — a linear, unsaturated alkene (1,3-trans 5-cis-octatriene)] might be a chemoattractant for various species...
