Hexane (/ ˈ h ɛ k s eɪ n /) or n-hexane is an organic compound, a straight-chain alkane with six carbon atoms and the molecular formula C 6 H 14. [ 7 ] Hexane is a colorless liquid, odorless when pure, and with a boiling point of approximately 69 °C (156 °F).
2-Hexyne can be semihydrogenated to yield 2-hexene or fully hydrogenated to hexane. [3] With appropriate noble metal catalysts it can selectively form cis-2-hexene. [4] 2-Hexyne can act as a ligand on gold atoms. [5] With strong sulfuric acid, the ketone 2-hexanone is produced. However this reaction also causes polymerization and charring. [6]
1,6-Hexanediol is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 OH) 2. It is a colorless water-soluble solid. It is a colorless water-soluble solid. [ 3 ]
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.
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]
Compared to n-heptane, 2-methylhexane has lower melting and boiling points. 2-methylhexane is also less dense than heptane. On the NFPA 704 scale, 2-methylhexane is listed as a reactivity level-0 chemical, along with various other alkanes. In fact, most alkanes are unreactive except in extreme conditions, such as combustion or strong sunlight.
1-Hexanol (IUPAC name hexan-1-ol) is an organic alcohol with a six-carbon chain and a condensed structural formula of CH 3 (CH 2) 5 OH. This colorless liquid is slightly soluble in water, but miscible with diethyl ether and ethanol .
1-Hexyne is a hydrocarbon consisting of a straight six-carbon chain having a terminal alkyne. Its molecular formula is HC 2 C 4 H 9. A colorless liquid, it is one of three isomers of hexyne. [1] It is used as a reagent in organic synthesis.
