7-Methyl-1,6-octadiene

Description:

7-Methyl-1,6-octadiene is an organic compound classified as a diene due to the presence of two double bonds in its carbon chain. Its molecular structure consists of a total of eight carbon atoms, with a methyl group substituent at the seventh carbon position. This compound is characterized by its unsaturated nature, which contributes to its reactivity, particularly in addition reactions typical of alkenes. The presence of double bonds also influences its physical properties, such as boiling and melting points, which are generally lower than those of saturated hydrocarbons of similar molecular weight. 7-Methyl-1,6-octadiene is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and may have a characteristic odor. It is used in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of more complex organic molecules. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines, as unsaturated hydrocarbons can be flammable and may pose health risks upon exposure.
