Cis-3-hexene is an alkene with the molecular formula C6H12, characterized by a double bond between the third and fourth carbon atoms in its chain. The "cis" designation indicates that the substituents attached to the double bond are on the same side, which influences its physical and chemical properties. This structural arrangement leads to a higher boiling point compared to its trans isomer due to increased molecular interactions. Cis-3-hexene is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its slightly sweet odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including polymerization and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it can participate in reactions typical of alkenes, such as hydrogenation and electrophilic addition. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may be flammable and can cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
