7-Tetradecene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon belonging to the alkene family, characterized by the presence of a double bond in its carbon chain. Specifically, it features a 14-carbon backbone with the double bond located between the seventh and eighth carbon atoms. This structure classifies it as a long-chain fatty alkene. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 7-Tetradecene is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including surfactants and lubricants. Its reactivity is typical of alkenes, allowing it to undergo addition reactions, polymerization, and other transformations. The compound is also of interest in the study of fatty acids and their derivatives due to its structural similarities. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as with many alkenes, due to potential flammability and health hazards associated with exposure.

7-TETRADECENE

7-Tetradecene is a fatty acid that has been shown to have synergistic interactions with homogeneous catalysts. 7-Tetradecene is also used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals, such as hydrogen chloride. The activation energy for the formation of 7-tetradecene is 113 kJ/mol. The reaction products are an acid and hydrogen chloride. This reaction mechanism consists of two steps: (1) an ether extraction followed by (2) a metathesis reaction. This process can be broken down into three phases: (1) water, (2) ether extractions, and (3) metathesis reactions.
7-Tetradecene is not soluble in water or ether extractions but is soluble in metathesis reactions.
