CAS 50396-87-7: 4-Hexen-3-one, (4E)-

Description: 4-Hexen-3-one, also known as (4E)-4-hexen-3-one, is an organic compound characterized by its unsaturated ketone structure. It features a six-carbon chain with a double bond located between the fourth and fifth carbon atoms, and a ketone functional group at the third carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often described as sweet or fruity. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 4-Hexen-3-one is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of both the double bond and the carbonyl group, making it susceptible to various chemical reactions such as addition and oxidation. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
