Also known as hexenes

In organic chemistry, hexene is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula . The prefix "hex" is derived from the fact that there are 6 carbon atoms in the molecule, while the "-ene" suffix denotes that there is an alkene present—two carbon atoms are connected via a double bond. There are several isomers of hexene, depending on the position and geometry of the double bond in the chain. One of the most common industrially useful isomers is 1-hexene, an alpha-olefin. Hexene is used as a comonomer in the production of polyethylene.

Hexeen is een koolwaterstof die behoort tot de alkenen, met als brutoformule C6H12. Er zijn verschillende isomeren van hexeen, omdat de dubbele binding op verschillende plaatsen kan zitten, en er ook vertakte varianten mogelijk zijn. Veel gebruikt is 1-hexeen. Een vertakt isomeer is 3,3-dimethyl-1-buteen (ook wel neohexeen genoemd).
