1methylcyclohexene
1-Methylcyclohexene is a cyclic alkene with the chemical formula C7H12. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature. Its structure consists of a six-membered ring, cyclohexane, with a double bond located between the first and second carbon atoms, and a methyl group attached to the first carbon atom of the double bond. This placement of the double bond and methyl group distinguishes it from its isomers, such as 3-methylcyclohexene and 4-methylcyclohexene.
The compound is generally prepared through dehydration reactions of alcohols, such as 1-methylcyclohexanol, using an acid
