Product Information

• Name: Oct-7-en-2-one
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Oct-7-en-2-one is a reactive diketone that reacts with oxygen to form peroxides and other reactive oxygen species. This isomeric compound has been shown to react with nucleophiles, such as styrene, forming an intermediate that undergoes a nucleophilic attack by the carbonyl group. The mechanism of this reaction remains unclear, but it may be rationalized by invoking the following steps: 1) Oct-7-en-2-one reacts with molecular oxygen to form peroxides and other reactive oxygen species; 2) The peroxides then react with styrene to produce an intermediate; 3) Finally, the carbonyl group of the intermediate reacts with the nucleophilic group on the styrene molecule.
