Definition
An organic compound with seven carbon atoms containing a triple bond between two carbons, used in organic synthesis and research.
Etymology
From 'heptyl-' (seven carbons) plus '-yne', the suffix for triple bonds. Emerged alongside alkyne chemistry in the 1900s.
Kelly Says
A triple bond is even more reactive than a double bond—heptyne's triple bond makes it eager to react with other molecules, so chemists use it as a starting material to build more complex compounds in the lab.
