Carotene - Branched unsaturated hydrocarbon - Cycloalkene - Cyclic olefin - Unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon - Unsaturated hydrocarbon - Olefin - Hydrocarbon - Aliphatic homomonocyclic compound

This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carotenes. These are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing eight consecutive isoprene units. They are characterized by the presence of two end-groups (mostly cyclohexene rings, but also cyclopentene rings or acyclic groups) linked by a long branched alkyl chain. Carotenes belonging form a subgroup of the carotenoids family.
