3,7-Octadien-2-one, 4-methyl-, (E)-

Description:

3,7-Octadien-2-one, 4-methyl-, (E)-, also known by its CAS number 88226-99-7, is an organic compound characterized by its unsaturated carbon chain and a ketone functional group. This compound features a total of eight carbon atoms, with a double bond configuration that is specified as (E), indicating that the higher priority substituents on either side of the double bond are on opposite sides. The presence of the methyl group at the fourth carbon position contributes to its structural complexity and influences its reactivity and physical properties. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit a range of characteristics including volatility, distinct odor, and potential applications in flavoring, fragrance, or as intermediates in organic synthesis. The unsaturation in the molecule can also make it susceptible to reactions such as hydrogenation or oxidation. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted to understand its handling, storage, and potential hazards.
