2-Hexadecenal, (E)-

Description:

2-Hexadecenal, (E)- is an unsaturated aldehyde characterized by a long carbon chain with a double bond located at the second carbon from the aldehyde functional group. Its molecular formula is C16H30O, indicating it contains 16 carbon atoms, 30 hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. The "(E)" designation refers to the configuration of the double bond, indicating that the higher priority substituents on either side of the double bond are on opposite sides, which affects its reactivity and physical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fatty, waxy odor, making it relevant in the fragrance and flavor industry. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate volatility. 2-Hexadecenal can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and polymerization, and is of interest in synthetic organic chemistry and biochemistry due to its potential applications in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
