aliphatic compoundAny organic chemical compound in which the carbon atoms are joined in straight chains, as in hexane (C6H14), or in branched chains, as in 2-methylpentane (CH3CH(CH3)CH2CH2CH 3). Aliphatic compounds have bonding electrons localized within the vicinity of the bonded atoms. Cyclic compounds that do not have delocalized electrons are also aliphatic, as in the alicyclic compound cyclohexane (C6H12) or the heterocyclic piperidine (C5H11N). Compare aromatic compound.
