CAS 103517-11-9

Cyclopentanone, 2-hexylidene-, (2E)-

Description:

Cyclopentanone, 2-hexylidene-, (2E)-, with the CAS number 103517-11-9, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclic ketone structure featuring a cyclopentanone ring with a hexylidene substituent. This compound typically exhibits a distinctive odor, which is common among ketones, and is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. Its molecular structure includes a five-membered carbon ring with a carbonyl group (C=O) and a double bond configuration (E) indicating the geometric arrangement of the substituents around the double bond. Cyclopentanone derivatives often demonstrate moderate polarity due to the presence of the carbonyl group, influencing their solubility in various organic solvents. Additionally, this compound may participate in typical reactions of ketones, such as nucleophilic addition and oxidation. Its applications could range from use in organic synthesis to potential roles in fragrance formulations, although specific uses may vary based on regulatory and safety considerations. As with all chemical substances, proper handling and safety protocols should be observed.
