Six rotational transitions each split into two //A// and //E// components due to the CH<sub>3</sub> interal rotation were observed plus one //A// component for which the //E// line is overlapped. The observation of this molecule in TMC-1 was rather surprising because apparently noone in the community considered such an almost saturated molecule to be likely in this source – especially because of thus far missing routes to this molecule. Even more remarkable is the detection because of the high abundance; a column density of 4 × 10<sup>13</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup> was derived; comparable to the abundance of //c//-C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>2</sub>. | Six rotational transitions each split into two //A// and //E// components due to the CH<sub>3</sub> interal rotation were observed plus one //A// component for which the //E// line is overlapped.

| This is the first account on luke-warm (~ 75 K) propene in the ISM and on the detection of propene around a low-mass protostar. The Protostellar Interferometric Line Survey (PILS) was carried out with ALMA in its Band 7 (329 – 363 GHz) with additional observations in Band 6. A total of 17 different unblended (with respect to a different molecule) lines were identified. |
