CAS 7206-21-5
:(5E)-octadec-5-ene
Description:
(5E)-Octadec-5-ene, with the CAS number 7206-21-5, is an unsaturated hydrocarbon belonging to the alkene family. It features a long carbon chain consisting of 18 carbon atoms, with a double bond located at the fifth carbon from one end, which gives it its E (trans) configuration. This structural characteristic influences its physical properties, such as lower boiling and melting points compared to saturated hydrocarbons of similar molecular weight. (5E)-Octadec-5-ene is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including surfactants and polymers. Additionally, due to its unsaturation, it can undergo reactions typical of alkenes, such as hydrogenation, polymerization, and oxidation. Safety considerations should be taken into account when handling this compound, as it may pose risks associated with flammability and skin irritation.
