CAS 629-05-0: 1-Octyne

Oct-1-yne

1-Octyne is widely used in organic reactions such as halogenation, hydration, oxidative cleavage, hydrogenation, hydrohalogenation, nitrile formation, polymerization and substitution reactions. It is used a precursor for the preparation of monohalogen substituted akenes or dihalogen substituted alkanes on treated with hydrogen halides.

The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Applications 1-Octyne was used as a mechanism-based inhibitor of AlkB (nonheme di-iron alkane monooxygenase). Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Alonso, H., et al.: Appl. Environ. Microbio., 78, 7946 (2012)

1-Octyne is a hydrocarbon with chemical properties that make it useful in the manufacture of synthetic rubber. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon that has a low energy level and emits light when it reacts with copper. 1-Octyne can be used to produce catalytic materials for use in hydrogenation reactions, such as those used in oil refining. The molecule contains a hydroxy group which makes it chemically stable, and it does not react with oxygen or water. 1-Octyne can also be used in the production of polymers, plastics, or adhesives.
