9octadecene
9-Octadecene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon with 18 carbon atoms and a carbon–carbon double bond between the ninth and tenth carbons. It is an internal alkene, and because the double bond is internal, the compound exists as geometric isomers around the double bond. In practice, 9-octadecene is typically encountered as a mixture of isomers.
Chemical formula and basic properties
The formula is C18H36. 9-Octadecene is a nonpolar, hydrophobic liquid at room temperature. It is largely immiscible
9-Octadecene is not a prominent natural product; it is produced commercially through petrochemical processing or via
Its primary role is as a nonpolar, high-boiling solvent and reaction medium in organic synthesis and materials
9-Octadecene is flammable and should be handled with care in a well-ventilated area, away from sources of
