alkanene
Alkanene is a term used in organic chemistry to describe a cyclic hydrocarbon that contains exactly one double bond. These compounds are a subset of the larger class of cyclic alkenes. The general formula for an alkanene is CnH2n-2, where 'n' represents the number of carbon atoms in the ring. The presence of the double bond within the ring structure influences the chemical reactivity of the molecule, making it susceptible to addition reactions, similar to acyclic alkenes.
The nomenclature for alkanenes follows the IUPAC system, starting with the prefix indicating the number of
Alkanenes are found in various natural products and can be synthesized through different organic reactions. Their
