CH3CH2CC2H5
CH3CH2CC2H5, also known as 3-hexyne, is an organic compound belonging to the alkyne family. Alkynes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. In the case of 3-hexyne, the triple bond is located between the third and fourth carbon atoms of a six-carbon chain. Its molecular formula is C6H10.
This molecule is a linear alkyne with ethyl groups attached to each end of the triple bond.
3-hexyne is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is generally insoluble in water but soluble in
3-hexyne can be synthesized through various organic chemistry methods, often involving dehydrohalogenation of dihaloalkanes or alkane
