trans-2-Octene

Description:
Trans-2-octene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon belonging to the alkene family, characterized by a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms in its linear chain. Its molecular formula is C8H16, indicating it contains eight carbon atoms and sixteen hydrogen atoms. The "trans" configuration refers to the arrangement of substituents around the double bond, where the larger groups are positioned on opposite sides, leading to a more stable structure compared to its cis counterpart. Trans-2-octene is a colorless liquid at room temperature and possesses a characteristic odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical reactions and industrial applications, such as in the production of polymers and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it can undergo reactions typical of alkenes, including hydrogenation, halogenation, and polymerization. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may be flammable and pose health risks upon exposure.
