CAS 14850-23-8: trans-4-Octene

Description:Trans-4-octene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon belonging to the alkene family, characterized by the presence of a double bond between the fourth and fifth carbon atoms in its linear chain. Its molecular formula is C8H16, indicating it has eight carbon atoms and sixteen hydrogen atoms. The "trans" configuration refers to the arrangement of substituents around the double bond, where the larger groups are positioned on opposite sides, leading to a more stable structure compared to its cis counterpart. Trans-4-octene is a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a characteristic odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical reactions and applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of polymers. Additionally, it can undergo reactions typical of alkenes, such as hydrogenation, halogenation, and polymerization. Safety considerations include flammability and potential health hazards upon inhalation or skin contact, necessitating appropriate handling and storage measures.
