chemical structure of cyclohexene

Cyclohexene is a colorless clear liquid cycloalkene with an intense aversive characteristic sharp smell reminiscent of an oil refinery. The molecular mass (abbreviated MM) of a substance, called molecular weight and abbreviated as MW, is the mass of one molecule of that substance, relative to the unified atomic mass unit u (equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12). ... The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which it can change its state from a liquid to a gas throughout the bulk of the liquid. ... The melting point of a solid is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. ... Density (symbol: ρ - Greek: rho) is a measure of mass per unit of volume. ... CAS registry numbers are unique numerical identifiers for chemical compounds, polymers, biological sequences, mixtures and alloys. ... The simplified molecular input line entry specification or SMILES is a specification for unambiguously describing the structure of chemical molecules using short ASCII strings. ... Image File history File links Cyclohexene. ... A liquid will assume the shape of its container. ... A cycloalkene or cycloolefin is a type of alkene hydrocarbon which contains a closed ring of carbon atoms. ... View of Shell Oil Refinery in Martinez, California. ...


It is not stable upon long term storage with exposure to light and air and should be distilled before use to eliminate peroxides. A common experiment among beginning organic chemistry students is the acid catalyzed dehydration of cyclohexanol with distillative removal of the resulting cyclohexene from the reaction mixture. Distillation is a means of separating liquids through differences in their boiling points. ... Organic peroxides are organic molecules containing the peroxide functional group ROOR If the R is hydrogen, the compound is called an organic hydroperoxide or a peroxy acid. ... Organic chemistry is that part of chemistry concerned with the composition, structure, properties, reactions and synthesis of organic compounds. ... It has been suggested that strong acid be merged into this article or section. ... A catalyst (Greek: καταλύτης, catalytēs) is a substance that accelerates the rate (speed) of a chemical reaction (see also catalysis). ... Dehydration is the removal of water (hydor in ancient Greek) from an object. ... Cyclohexanol is a secondary alcohol, formula C6H12O, consisting of a cyclohexane ring with one hydrogen substituent replaced by a hydroxyl group. ...

Vinyl Cyclohexene Dioxide (3331 words)
Effects on Animals: Vinyl cyclohexene dioxide is a severe irritant, a mutagen and a carcinogen in experimental animals.
Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to vinyl cyclohexene dioxide, a licensed health care professional should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks.
Clothing contaminated with vinyl cyclohexene dioxide should be removed immediately, and provisions should be made for the safe removal of the chemical from the clothing.
