Octene is an alkene on a linear chain with 8 carbons, containing one double bond and represented by the chemical formula C8H16. The most widely used isomer is 1-octene, with a double bond at the end of the chain.
1-Octene is primarily used as a synthetic raw material for nonanal, an aldehyde found in tea, flowers, and citrus fruits. It is added to foods and cosmetics as a flavoring agent and is also used in organic synthesis, plasticizers, surfactants, and as a raw material for linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) copolymers in detergents.
The molecular weight of 1-octene is 112.21, with a CAS number of 111-66-0. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a gasoline odor, a melting point of -102°C, and a boiling point of 121°C. Octene is flammable, with a flash point of 8°C and a spontaneous combustion temperature of 205°C. It is soluble in acetone, benzene, and chloroform, miscible with many aliphatic hydrocarbons, and attacks rubber, paints, and coatings.
Octene is corrosive and irritating to the skin and acutely toxic when inhaled. It can cause drowsiness, and dizziness, and is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Disposal should be handled by specialized waste disposal contractors.
In case of inhalation, move to fresh air and rest. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. In case of skin or eye contact, wash thoroughly with water and soap, and rinse your eyes with an eye shower. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately.
Handle octene in well-ventilated areas with appropriate protective gear. Store away from heat, sparks, and strong oxidizers. Ground and earth the work area and take static discharge measures. Workers should wear protective gloves and eye protection, and wash hands thoroughly after handling.
