Octylferrocene

Ref. 3D-FO150278

Product Information

• Name: Octylferrocene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Octylferrocene is a compound that has two isomers, namely octyl- and hexyl-. Hexyloctylferrocene has a higher viscosity than octyloctylferrocene. The preparative hplc method separates the isomers by using ethylene diamine as an eluent. The redox potential of hexyloctylferrocene is more positive than that of octyloctylferrocene. The reaction mechanism for octyloctylferrocene can be described as follows:; ; Octylferrocene + 2e- → Octylferrocenol + 2H+; ; The reaction mechanism for hexyloctylferrocene can be described as follows:; ; Octylferrocenol + 2e- → Hexyllferrocenol + H2O ; The polylactic acid (PLA) which contains ferric chloride impurities can
