)

Any of a series of unsaturated, open chain hydrocarbons with one or more carbon-carbon double bonds, having the general formula C_nH_2n.

alkene

[al′kēn]

an unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon containing one double bond in the carbon chain, such as ethylene. Also called olefin.

alkene [al´kēn]

an aliphatic hydrocarbon containing a double bond.

alkene (alˑ·kēnˈ),

n unsaturated hydrocarbon compound that has double covalent bonds with C_nH_2n as the general chemical formula. Terpenes, found in essential oils, are members of this functional group.

olefin unsaturated alcohol			Highly versatile molecules that contain carbon-carbon double bonds, alkenes, or olefins, are ubiquitous in medicinally relevant and biologically active molecules. New catalysts promise faster, cleaner and more efficient research ... by Asian News International 4, wherein the epoxidized compound is an epoxidation product of fatty acid moieties having one or more carbon-carbon double bonds, wherein less than 20% mole of the fatty acid moieties contain three or more carbon-carbon double bonds, and wherein greater than 60% mole of the fatty acid moieties contain two carbon-carbon double bonds; and combining the pigment and the fatty (meth)acrylate in a liquid carrier medium. Actinic fatty (meth) acrylates and their use in pigments by Coatings World By targeting the carbon-carbon double bond, which is usually difficult to break, metathesis reactions provide "a new way to link molecules together," says Ronald Breslow, a chemist at Columbia University and Grubbs' Ph.
