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 .
It can be produced by a Wittig reaction or a reaction with a Tebbe's reagent from cyclohexanone. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It can also be synthesized as a side product of the dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol into 1-methylcyclohexene.

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.
Cyclohexene is a hydrocarbon with the formula (CH 2) 4 C 2 H 2. It is a cycloalkene. At room temperature, cyclohexene is a colorless liquid with a sharp odor. Among its uses, it is an intermediate in the commercial synthesis of nylon. [3]
Most methylcyclohexane is extracted from petroleum but it can be also produced by catalytic hydrogenation of toluene: CH 3 C 6 H 5 + 3 H 2 → CH 3 C 6 H 11. The hydrocarbon is a minor component of automobile fuel, with its share in US gasoline varying between 0.3 and 1.7% in early 1990s [10] and 0.1 to 1% in 2011. [11]
Formerly the reaction had been called "olefin disproportionation." In this reaction 2-pentene forms a rapid (a matter of seconds) chemical equilibrium with 2-butene and 3-hexene. No double bond migrations are observed; the reaction can be started with the butene and hexene as well and the reaction can be stopped by addition of methanol.
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.
