Chemical Properties
Clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor.
Uses
cis-2-Heptene (alkene) was used in the synthesis of the corresponding
bis(10-phenoxathiiniumyl)alkane adduct.
Definition
ChEBI: 2-Heptene is an acyclic olefin.
General Description
The rate constants for the epoxidation of
cis-2-heptene with
meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (
mCPBA) and [2-percarboxyethyl]-functionalized silica in different solvents were studied.
Environmental Fate
Chemical/Physical. Complete combustion in air produces carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Solubility in water
Soluble in acetone, alcohol, benzene, chloroform, ether (Weast, 1986), and miscible with many
aliphatic hydrocarbons including hexane.
