polyenide
Polyenides are a class of organic compounds characterized by the presence of multiple carbon-carbon double bonds within their molecular structure. These double bonds are typically arranged in a conjugated system, meaning they alternate with single bonds. This conjugation is crucial to the chemical and physical properties of polyenides.
The alternating double and single bonds create a delocalized pi electron system, which can absorb and emit
Polyenides are found in nature and are synthesized in laboratories. Examples include beta-carotene, a prominent pigment
The reactivity of polyenides is significantly influenced by the presence of their double bonds. They can undergo
