CAS 13419-69-7: hex-2-enoic acid

Description: Hex-2-enoic acid, also known as 2-hexenoic acid, is an unsaturated fatty acid characterized by a six-carbon chain with a double bond located between the second and third carbon atoms. Its molecular formula is C6H10O2, and it features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at one end of the chain. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. Hex-2-enoic acid is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. The presence of the double bond introduces cis or trans isomerism, which can influence its chemical reactivity and physical properties. Hex-2-enoic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including addition reactions typical of alkenes and esterification reactions with alcohols. It is used in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates and can be found in some natural products. As with many unsaturated fatty acids, it may exhibit biological activity, although specific applications and effects can vary.
