hydroolefin
Hydroolefins are organic compounds characterized by the presence of both a carbon-carbon double bond (olefinic) and a hydroxyl group (hydroxy) attached to the same carbon chain. They are a subclass of unsaturated alcohols, combining the functional groups of alkenes and alcohols. The general chemical structure of hydroolefins includes a C=C double bond and an –OH group, often positioned on adjacent or nearby carbon atoms.
These compounds are typically formed through the hydration of alkynes, a process known as the Kucherov reaction,
Hydroolefins exhibit a range of chemical properties influenced by their dual functional groups. The presence of
In industrial applications, hydroolefins are often used as precursors to various derivatives, including aldehydes, carboxylic acids,
The study of hydroolefins falls within the broader fields of organic chemistry and chemical engineering, with
