2-Octene is an alkene with the molecular formula C8H16, characterized by the presence of a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms in its linear chain. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a mild, hydrocarbon-like odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications. 2-Octene can exist in two geometric isomers: cis and trans, which differ in the spatial arrangement of the substituents around the double bond, affecting their physical and chemical properties. The compound is flammable and should be handled with care, as it can pose health risks upon inhalation or skin contact. 2-Octene is primarily used in the production of detergents, surfactants, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its reactivity allows it to participate in various addition reactions, making it a valuable building block in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules.
