4-Methyl-2-pentyne is an alkyne, specifically a terminal alkyne, characterized by its triple bond between carbon atoms. It has the molecular formula C6H10, indicating it contains six carbon atoms and ten hydrogen atoms. This compound features a branched structure, with a methyl group attached to the fourth carbon of a five-carbon chain that includes a triple bond between the second and third carbons. 4-Methyl-2-pentyne is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its distinct odor. It is relatively non-polar, making it soluble in organic solvents but less so in water. The compound is flammable and should be handled with care, as it can pose hazards associated with alkyne reactivity, including potential polymerization under certain conditions. Its applications may include use as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of various chemical compounds. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance due to its flammable nature and potential health risks.
