1,7-Octadiene(CAS#3710-30-3)

Brief introduction
1,7-Octadiene is an organic compound with a colorless liquid.

1,7-octadiene has many important uses. It is an important chemical intermediate that can be used to synthesize a wide range of compounds, such as synthetic rubber, plastics, adhesives, antioxidants, and solvents. 1,7-octadiene can also be used in the preparation of fragrances and flavors, as well as as as solvents and cleaning agents.

There are several methods for the preparation of 1,7-octadiene. The commonly used method is obtained through the transformation of vegetable oils. The fatty acids in vegetable oil are dehydrated, decarboxylated and other reactions to obtain corresponding non-olefins, and in the presence of appropriate catalysts, 1,7-octadiene is further hydrogenated to obtain 1,7-octadiene.
It is a combustible liquid that burns easily and should be kept away from open flames and high temperatures. Contact with oxygen may cause explosion, and prolonged contact with oxygen or high temperature should be avoided. Appropriate protective equipment, such as protective gloves and glasses, should be worn when using it, and avoid contact with skin and eyes. During storage and transportation, exposure to sunlight or contact with oxidizing agents should be avoided.
