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.

A 3D model of ethyne , the simplest alkyne. In organic chemistry, an alkyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing at least one carbon—carbon triple bond. [1] The simplest acyclic alkynes with only one triple bond and no other functional groups form a homologous series with the general chemical formula C n H 2n−2.
The hexynes are a subgroup from the group of alkynes. It consists of several isomeric compounds having the formula C 6 H 10. The linear and branched members are: 1-Hexyne (n-butylacetylene) 2-Hexyne (methylpropylacetylene) 3-Hexyne (diethylacetylene) 3-methylpent-1-yne; 4-methylpent-1-yne; 4-methylpent-2-yne; 3,3-dimethylbut-1-yne
[1]: 623 The most general form of saturated hydrocarbons, (whether linear or branched species, and whether with or without one or more rings) is C n H 2n+2(1-r), where r is the number of rings. Those with exactly one ring are the cycloalkanes. Saturated hydrocarbons are the basis of petroleum fuels and may be either linear or branched species ...
The general chemical equation for the hydration of alkenes is the following: RRC=CH 2 + H 2 O → RRC(OH)-CH 3. A hydroxyl group (OH −) attaches to one carbon of the double bond, and a proton (H +) adds to the other. The reaction is highly exothermic.
Alkylation is a chemical reaction that entails transfer of an alkyl group. The alkyl group may be transferred as an alkyl carbocation, a free radical, a carbanion, or a carbene (or their equivalents). [1] Alkylating agents are reagents for effecting alkylation. Alkyl groups can also be removed in a process known as dealkylation.
In organic chemistry, ozonolysis is an organic reaction where the unsaturated bonds are cleaved with ozone (O 3). Multiple carbon–carbon bond are replaced by carbonyl (C=O) groups, such as aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids. The reaction is predominantly applied to alkenes, but alkynes and azo compounds are also susceptible to cleavage.
Alkyl groups form homologous series. The simplest series have the general formula −C n H 2n+1. Alkyls include methyl, (−CH 3), ethyl (−C 2 H 5), propyl (−C 3 H 7), butyl (−C 4 H 9), pentyl (−C 5 H 11), and so on. Alkyl groups that contain one ring have the formula −C n H 2n−1, e.g. cyclopropyl and cyclohexyl.
