2-Methyl-1,5-hexadiene

Description:
2-Methyl-1,5-hexadiene is an organic compound classified as a diene due to the presence of two double bonds in its carbon chain. Its molecular formula is C8H14, indicating it consists of eight carbon atoms and fourteen hydrogen atoms. This compound features a branched structure, with a methyl group attached to the second carbon of a hexadiene backbone. 2-Methyl-1,5-hexadiene is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a characteristic odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is common for hydrocarbons. The presence of double bonds makes it reactive, particularly in addition reactions, and it can participate in polymerization processes. Its reactivity and structure make it of interest in organic synthesis and materials science. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may be flammable and potentially harmful if inhaled or ingested. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition is recommended.
