2-Hexylidenecyclopentanone

Description:

2-Hexylidenecyclopentanone is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure, which features a cyclopentanone ring with a hexylidene substituent. This compound belongs to the class of ketones, which are characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) within their molecular structure. The presence of the hexylidene group contributes to its hydrophobic nature, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. 2-Hexylidenecyclopentanone may exhibit interesting chemical reactivity due to the presence of both the carbonyl group and the alkyl chain, potentially participating in various organic reactions such as nucleophilic additions. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, are influenced by its molecular weight and structure. Additionally, this compound may have applications in the fragrance industry or as an intermediate in organic synthesis, although specific applications can vary. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted to understand its handling and potential hazards.
