Description

1-Octenylbenzene is a high-purity aromatic olefin monomer, also known as 1-Phenyl-1-octene, with the CAS registry number 29518-72-7. This compound serves as a versatile chemical intermediate, valued for its unique combination of a reactive terminal alkene group and a hydrophobic aromatic ring. It is primarily sought after by R&D laboratories and industrial manufacturers in the specialty polymer, surfactant, and fine chemical synthesis sectors for creating tailored materials with specific properties.

Application

• Polymer & Resin Synthesis: Acts as a co-monomer or chain transfer agent in the production of specialty styrenic polymers and copolymers, modifying flexibility, hydrophobicity, and thermal properties.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Precursor: Used in the synthesis of alkylbenzene derivatives for non-ionic surfactants, emulsifiers, and wetting agents.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: A key building block in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research for constructing complex molecules via reactions like hydroformylation, epoxidation, or polymerization.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive Component: Employed in the development of performance additives that improve viscosity index, oxidation stability, and dispersancy.
• Material Science Research: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for creating novel organic frameworks, liquid crystals, or surface-modifying agents.
• Flavor & Fragrance Chemistry: Serves as a precursor for certain aromatic compounds used in specialty fragrance formulations.
