Cycloheptene, 96%, stab. with 0.1% BHT

Description

Cycloheptene was used in one-pot synthesis of 1,2/3-triols from the allylichydroperoxides catalyzed by zeolite-confined osmium(0) nanoclusters. It is a raw material in organic chemistry and a monomer in polymer synthesis. Copper (1) triflate catalyzes the photodimerization of the simple nonconjugated unstrained olefins, cyclopentene, cyclohexene, and cycloheptene, but not cyclooctene or acyclic olefins.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
