2,6-Octadiene,2,6-dimethyl-, (6E)-

Description:

2,6-Octadiene, 2,6-dimethyl-, (6E)-, with the CAS number 2609-23-6, is an organic compound characterized by its diene structure, which features two double bonds in its carbon chain. This compound is a derivative of octadiene, specifically with methyl groups attached at the 2 and 6 positions, contributing to its unique properties. The (6E) designation indicates the configuration of the double bond at the sixth carbon, which is in the trans (E) configuration, affecting its reactivity and physical properties. Typically, compounds like this exhibit a relatively low boiling point and are likely to be colorless liquids at room temperature. They are often used in organic synthesis and can serve as intermediates in the production of various chemicals. Additionally, due to the presence of multiple double bonds, 2,6-octadiene can participate in various chemical reactions, including polymerization and addition reactions, making it valuable in the field of materials science and organic chemistry. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as with many unsaturated hydrocarbons.
