👉 A pulicene is a compound that contains a saturated hydrocarbon with a linear structure. These compounds are found in nature, but they have been artificially synthesized by adding functional groups to the carbon atoms of an unreacted alkene. Pulicenes can be classified into four main classes based on their structural similarity:
1.
Linear Pulkene
: They all contain three hydroxyl groups (OH) and have a linear structure.
2.
Oxidized Linear Pulk
