4-Methyl-1-hexene is an organic compound classified as an alkene, specifically a linear chain hydrocarbon with a double bond. Its molecular formula is C7H14, indicating it consists of seven carbon atoms and fourteen hydrogen atoms. The presence of the double bond between the first and second carbon atoms characterizes it as an unsaturated hydrocarbon, which contributes to its reactivity compared to saturated hydrocarbons. 4-Methyl-1-hexene is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. This compound is primarily used in the production of polymers and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its reactivity allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including polymerization and addition reactions. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
