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).
Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are possibly arranged in the real three-dimensional space.
1-Hexyne can be prepared by the reaction of monosodium acetylide with butyl bromide: [1]. NaC 2 H + BrC 4 H 9 → HC 2 C 4 H 9 + NaBr. Its reactivity illustrates the behavior of terminal alkylacetylenes.
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]
For example, hexane has a molecular formula of C 6 H 14, and (for one of its isomers, n-hexane) a structural formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3, implying that it has a chain structure of 6 carbon atoms, and 14 hydrogen atoms. However, the empirical formula for hexane is C 3 H 7.
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.
3-Hexyne is the organic compound with the formula C 2 H 5 CCC 2 H 5. This colorless liquid is one of three isomeric hexynes. 3-Hexyne forms with 5-decyne, 4-octyne, and 2-butyne a series of symmetric alkynes. It is a reagent in organometallic chemistry. [1] Structure of the coordination complex NbCl 3 (dimethoxyethane)(3-hexyne). [2]
3-Methylpentane is a branched alkane with the molecular formula C 6 H 14. It is a structural isomer of hexane composed of a methyl group bonded to the third carbon atom in a pentane chain. It is of similar structure to the isomeric 2-methylpentane, which has the methyl group located on the second carbon of the pentane chain.
