Cis-3-heptene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon belonging to the alkene family, characterized by the presence of a double bond between the third and fourth carbon atoms in its seven-carbon 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 compound has a molecular formula of C7H14 and exhibits a relatively low boiling point compared to saturated hydrocarbons of similar molecular weight due to the presence of the double bond. Cis-3-heptene is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is used in various chemical syntheses and can participate in reactions typical of alkenes, such as hydrogenation, polymerization, and electrophilic addition. Its reactivity and structural characteristics make it a valuable intermediate in organic chemistry and industrial applications.
