Researchers have developed several ways to inhibit ethene, including inhibiting ethene synthesis and inhibiting ethene perception.
Ethene can cause significant economic losses for florists, markets, suppliers, and growers.
In this example, a vinyl compound is dimerized with the expulsion of ethene.
They set up an experiment to react ethene with benzaldehyde in the hope of producing a ketone.
Ethene will shorten the shelf life of cut flowers and potted plants by accelerating floral senescence and floral abscission.
By inhibiting ethene perception, fruits, plants and flowers don't respond to ethene produced endogenously or from exogenous sources.
Without the deactivation of the catalyst, the ethene produced will be further reduced to ethane.
Oxidative chlorination of ethane has long appeared to be a potentially more economical route to vinyl chloride than ethene chlorination.
