1-Hexene, a member of the hydrocarbon family, is an organic compound classified as a monoolefin. It is a linear alkene composed of six carbon atoms. At room temperature, 1-hexene exists as a colorless liquid and finds extensive use in the production of polymers and various other chemicals. In the realm of scientific research, 1-hexene has been widely employed. It has functioned as a model compound, enabling the study of polymerization and other organic reactions. Furthermore, it has served as useful in exploring catalyst properties and catalytic mechanisms. The Ziegler-Natta polymerization mechanism of 1-hexene involves the formation of a metallocyclopentane intermediate. Subsequently, this intermediate undergoes a cycloaddition reaction with ethylene, resulting in the formation of a six-membered cyclic structure. This cyclic structure subsequently undergoes a ring-opening reaction, yielding 1-hexene alongside other products.
