trans-2-Hexene

Description:
Trans-2-hexene is an organic compound classified as an alkene, specifically an unsaturated hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C6H12. It features a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms in its linear chain, with the "trans" configuration indicating that the substituents on either side of the double bond are on opposite sides, which affects its physical properties. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic odor. Trans-2-hexene is less dense than water and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It has a relatively low boiling point compared to saturated hydrocarbons of similar molecular weight due to the presence of the double bond. Trans-2-hexene is used in various industrial applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals and in polymer production. Its reactivity is typical of alkenes, allowing it to undergo addition reactions, which can be utilized in organic synthesis. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it can be flammable and may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
