hex2en1ol
Hex-2-en-1-ol is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H12O. It is an unsaturated alcohol, meaning it contains both a carbon-carbon double bond and a hydroxyl group (-OH). The double bond is located between the second and third carbon atoms of the six-carbon chain, and the hydroxyl group is attached to the first carbon atom. This arrangement leads to geometric isomerism, meaning hex-2-en-1-ol can exist as either the cis (Z) or trans (E) isomer. The chemical structure can be represented as CH3CH=CHCH2CH2CH2OH.
Hex-2-en-1-ol is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is soluble in many organic solvents. It possesses
