In organic chemistry, hexene is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C 6 H 12. The prefix "hex" is derived from the fact that there are 6 carbon atoms in the molecule, while the " -ene " suffix denotes that there is an alkene present—two carbon atoms are connected via a double bond .

2-Methylpentane, trivially known as isohexane, is a branched-chain alkane with the molecular formula C 6 H 14.It is a structural isomer of hexane composed of a methyl group bonded to the second carbon atom in a pentane chain.
2-Methylhexane (C 7 H 16, also known as isoheptane, ethylisobutylmethane) is an isomer of heptane. It is structurally a hexane molecule with a methyl group attached to its second carbon atom.
1-Hexene (hex-1-ene) is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 12.It is an alkene that is classified in industry as higher olefin and an alpha-olefin, the latter term meaning that the double bond is located at the alpha (primary) position, endowing the compound with higher reactivity and thus useful chemical properties. 1-Hexene is an industrially significant linear alpha olefin.
C 2 H 4 + 1/ 2 O 2 → C 2 H 4 O. Alkenes react with ozone, leading to the scission of the double bond. The process is called ozonolysis. Often the reaction procedure includes a mild reductant, such as dimethylsulfide (SMe 2): RCH=CHR' + O 3 + SMe 2 → RCHO + R'CHO + O=SMe 2 R 2 C=CHR' + O 3 → R 2 CHO + R'CHO + O=SMe 2
