The skeletal formula of hexane, with carbons number one and three labelled The Lewis structure of hexane, for reference The 3d ball representation of hexane, with carbon (black) and hydrogen (white) shown explicitly. It does not matter which end of the chain one starts numbering from, as long as consistency is maintained when drawing diagrams.
Hexane (/ ˈ h ɛ k s eɪ n /) or n-hexane is an organic compound, a straight-chain alkane with six carbon atoms and the molecular formula C 6 H 14. [ 7 ] Hexane is a colorless liquid, odorless when pure, and with a boiling point of approximately 69 °C (156 °F).
[1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [4] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.

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]
2,2-Dimethylbutane, trivially known as neohexane at William Odling's 1876 suggestion, [4] is an organic compound with formula C 6 H 14 or (H 3 C-) 3-C-CH 2-CH 3. It is therefore an alkane , indeed the most compact and branched of the hexane isomers — the only one with a quaternary carbon and a butane (C 4 ) backbone.
3-Methylhexane is a branched hydrocarbon with two enantiomers. [2] It is one of the isomers of heptane. The molecule is chiral, and is one of the two isomers of heptane to have this property, the other being its structural isomer 2,3-dimethylpentane. The enantiomers are (R)-3-methylhexane [3] and (S)-3-methylhexane. [4]
Caproic acid, also known as hexanoic acid, is the carboxylic acid derived from hexane with the chemical formula CH 3 (CH 2) 4 COOH.It is a colorless oily liquid with an odor that is fatty, cheesy, waxy, and like that of goats [1] or other barnyard animals.
