Cyclopentene is a highly flammable cycloalkene with chemical formula 5 8 and CAS number 142-29-0. It occurs as a clear colorless liquid with a petrol-like odor. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cyclopentene"
Ethenol, also called vinyl alcohol, is an alcohol with chemical formula 2 4 (H2C=CHOH) and CAS number 557-75-5. Normally it exists as the tautomer acetaldehyde. For this reason the thermoplastic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA or PVOH) which would be derived from this monomer, is made indirectly by polymerization of vinyl acetate and then hydrolysis of the polyvinyl acetate. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ethenol"
Ethylene (or IUPAC name ethene) is the simplest alkene hydrocarbon, consisting of four hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms connected by a double bond. Because it contains a double bond, ethylene is called an unsaturated hydrocarbon or an olefin. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ethylene"
Hexamethylene diamine or 1,6-Hexanediamine is a organic compound with a hexamethylene hydrocarbon chain and amine functional groups at each end. ...more on Wikipedia about "Hexamethylene diamine"
Because of the double bonds, these 4-carbon alkenes can act as monomers in the formation of polymers, as well as having other uses as petrochemical intermediates. They are used in the production of synthetic rubber. 1-Butene is a linear or normal alpha-olefin and isobutylene is a branched alpha-olefin. In a rather low percentage, 1-butene is used as one of the comonomers, along with other alpha-olefins, in the production of high density polyethylene and linear low density polyethylene. Butyl rubber is made by cationic polymerization of isobutylene with about 2 - 7% isoprene. Isobutylene is also used for the production of methyl tert-butyl ether ( MTBE) and isooctane, both of which improve the combustion of gasoline. ...more on Wikipedia about "Isomers of butylene"

Norbornene or norbornylene or norcamphene is a bridged cyclic hydrocarbon. It is a white solid with a pungent sour odor. The molecule consists of a cyclohexene ring bridged with a methylene group in the para position. The molecule carries a double bond which induces significant strained and significant reactivity. ...more on Wikipedia about "Norbornene"
Octene is a higher olefin, or alkene, with the formula C8 H16. There are several isomers of octene, depending on the position of the double bond and the branching of the carbon chain. One of the most common industrially useful isomers is octene-1, an alpha-olefin, used primarily as a co- monomer in production of polyethylene via the solution polymerization process. ...more on Wikipedia about "Octene"
