2-Hexyne is an organic compound that belongs to the alkyne group. Just like its isomers, it also has the chemical formula of C6H10.
Reactions
2-Hexyne can be semihydrogenated to yield 2-hexene or fully hydrogenated to hexane.[3] With appropriate noble metal catalysts it can selectively form cis-2-hexene.[4]
