2-Hexene

Description:

2-Hexene is an organic compound classified as an alkene, specifically a linear hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C6H12. It features a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms in its chain, which contributes to its unsaturation and reactivity. This compound exists in two geometric isomers: cis-2-hexene and trans-2-hexene, differing in the spatial arrangement of substituents around the double bond. 2-Hexene is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical reactions and industrial applications, such as in the production of polymers and other chemicals. The presence of the double bond allows for addition reactions, making 2-hexene a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it is flammable and should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols. Its CAS number, 592-43-8, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.
