Description

Oct-1-Ene is a high-purity, linear α-olefin with the CAS number 103170-38-3, serving as a fundamental building block in advanced organic synthesis and polymer chemistry. Its terminal double bond and defined carbon chain length make it a versatile and reactive intermediate for creating specialized chemical products. This compound is essential for R&D laboratories and industrial manufacturers in the fine chemicals, polymer, and specialty materials sectors.

Application

• Polymer Co-monomer: Used as a co-monomer in the production of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and other polyolefins to modify density and physical properties.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate in the synthesis of plasticizers, surfactants, lubricant additives, and synthetic lubricants.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for hydroformylation (oxo synthesis) to produce C9 aldehydes and alcohols, and for alkylation reactions.
• Specialty Materials: Employed in the manufacture of synthetic fatty acids, amines, and other olefin-derived specialty chemicals.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new catalytic processes and material science applications.
