1-Hexadecene, also known as 1-cetene, is a long-chain hydrocarbon and an alkene with the molecular formula CH2=CH(CH2)13CH3. It is one of many isomers of hexadecene. Classified as an alpha-olefin, 1-hexadecene is a colorless liquid.{{Ullmann|doi=10.1002/14356007.a13_227|title=Hydrocarbons||year=2000|last1=Griesbaum|first1=Karl|last2=Behr|first2=Arno|last3=Biedenkapp|first3=Dieter|last4=Voges|first4=Heinz-Werner|last5=Garbe|first5=Dorothea|last6=Paetz|first6=Christian|last7=Collin|first7=Gerd|last8=Mayer|first8=Dieter|last9=Höke|first9=Hartmut|isbn=3527306730}}

Uses
1-Hexadecene is used as a surfactant in lubricating fluid, a drilling fluid in the boring and drilling industry, and in paper sizing. It
is used to functionalize hydrogen-terminated silicon surfaces by hydrosilation.{{cite journal |doi=10.1021/la971139z |title=Highly Stable Si−C Linked Functionalized Monolayers on the Silicon (100) Surface |date=1998 |last1=Sieval |first1=A.

H. |last7=Zuilhof |first7=H. |last8=Sudhölter |first8=E. J. R. |journal=Langmuir |volume=14 |issue=7 |pages=1759–1768 }}
However, the high reactivity of 1-hexadecene means that exposure to air could cause oxidation of its surface layer, forming unwanted impurities. It is stored with the use of tank blanketing, and handled in a dry, inert atmosphere.
