TRANS-3-HEXENE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

clear colorless liquid

Uses

Oligomers were prepared from the ozonolyses of cis- and trans-3-hexene and cis- and trans-2,5-dimethyl-3-hexene. Synthesis and characterization of aliphatic unsaturated polyesters is from trans-3-hexene.

Definition

ChEBI: 3-hexene is an alkene that is hexane carrying a double bond at position 3.

Purification Methods

Purify it as for 1-hexene above. [Beilstein 1 IV 837.]
