3-Methyl-1-pentene

Description:
3-Methyl-1-pentene is an organic compound classified as an alkene, specifically a branched-chain olefin. It features a five-carbon chain with a double bond located between the first and second carbon atoms, and a methyl group attached to the third carbon. This structure gives it the formula C6H12. 3-Methyl-1-pentene is a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a characteristic odor typical of alkenes. It is known for its reactivity due to the presence of the double bond, making it a useful intermediate in various chemical reactions, including polymerization and addition reactions. The compound is relatively non-polar, which influences its solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. It has applications in the production of plastics and synthetic rubber, as well as serving as a building block in organic synthesis. Safety considerations include flammability and potential health hazards upon inhalation or skin contact, necessitating appropriate handling and storage measures.
