  2. Hexane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexane

    Hexane and other volatile hydrocarbons (petroleum ether) present an aspiration risk. [26] n-Hexane is sometimes used as a denaturant for alcohol, and as a cleaning agent in the textile, furniture, and leather industries. It is slowly being replaced with other solvents. [27] Like gasoline, hexane is highly volatile and is an explosion risk.

  3. 1-Hexanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Hexanol

    1-Hexanol (IUPAC name hexan-1-ol) is an organic alcohol with a six-carbon chain and a condensed structural formula of CH 3 (CH 2) 5 OH. This colorless liquid is slightly soluble in water, but miscible with diethyl ether and ethanol.

  4. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    The term alcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which is used as a drug and is the main alcohol present in alcoholic drinks. The suffix -ol appears in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) chemical name of all substances where the hydroxyl group is the functional group with the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliphatic_compound

    Aliphatic compounds can be saturated (in which all the C-C bonds are single requiring the structure to be completed, or 'saturated', by hydrogen) like hexane, or unsaturated, like hexene and hexyne. Open-chain compounds, whether straight or branched, and which contain no rings of any type, are always aliphatic.

  6. 2-Hexanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Hexanol

    2-Hexanol (hexan-2-ol) is a six-carbon alcohol in which the hydroxy group (OH) is located on the second carbon atom. Its chemical formula is C 6 H 14 O or C 6 H 13 OH. It is an isomer of the other hexanols. 2-Hexanol has a chiral center and can be resolved into two different enantiomers. Its toxicity is based on metabolism to hexane-2,5-dione. [3]

  7. 2,5-Hexanediol - Wikipedia
