Z2undecene
Z2undecene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C11H22. It is an alkene, characterized by the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond. Specifically, the "2" in its name indicates that the double bond is located between the second and third carbon atoms of the undecane chain. The "Z" designation refers to the stereochemistry around the double bond, indicating that the two higher priority groups (in this case, the methyl group and the remaining hydrocarbon chain) are on the same side of the double bond. This is in contrast to the "E" isomer, where these groups would be on opposite sides.
Z2undecene is a colorless liquid at room temperature and pressure. Like other alkenes, it is relatively nonpolar
The compound can be synthesized through various organic reactions, often involving the controlled creation of the
