Octenes
Octenes are a group of organic compounds with the chemical formula C8H16. They are alkenes, meaning they contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond. Specifically, octenes have an eight-carbon chain with one double bond. The position of this double bond and the branching of the carbon chain lead to various isomers of octene.
The most common and commercially important octene isomer is 1-octene. This linear alpha-olefin (LAO) is produced
Octenes are colorless liquids at room temperature and are generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic
1-Octene is a significant comonomer in the production of polyethylene, particularly linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and
