CAS 7688-21-3: cis-2-Hexene
Description:Cis-2-hexene is an alkene with the molecular formula C6H12, characterized by a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms in the chain. As a cis isomer, the substituents on the double bond are oriented on the same side, which influences its physical properties compared to its trans counterpart. This configuration leads to a lower boiling point and higher stability due to reduced steric strain. Cis-2-hexene is a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a characteristic hydrocarbon odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including polymerization and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The compound is flammable and should be handled with care, adhering to safety protocols to avoid inhalation or skin contact. Its reactivity is typical of alkenes, allowing for addition reactions with halogens, hydrogen, and other reagents. Overall, cis-2-hexene serves as an important building block in organic chemistry and industrial applications.
