Product Information

• Name: 1,2-Epoxy-5-cyclooctene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,2-Epoxy-5-cyclooctene is a cyclic epoxide that undergoes ring opening with the addition of a nucleophile. This reaction is catalyzed by a bromonium ion, which acts as the electrophile. The product of this reaction is 2-hydroxy-1,2-epoxycyclohexane. 1,2-Epoxy-5-cyclooctene has been used in synthesizing various compounds such as monoepoxides and hydrosilanes. It can also be used to produce compounds that are difficult to access through other methods. 1,2-Epoxy-5-cyclooctene has been studied using x-ray crystallography and conformational analysis.
