General description

1,7-Octadiene can serve as a crosslinker and source of ethylene for a variant of Mori′s conditions in CEYM-related reactions.

Application

1,7-Octadiene has been used in a study to assess the structure and reaction rate in olefin ring-closing metathesis of a series of simple dienes. It has also been used in a study to investigate micropatterned surfaces prepared by plasma polymerization.

The use of 1,7-octadiene as an in situ source of ethylene led us to develop a novel multicomponent tandem cross-enyne metathesis (CEYM)-Diels-Alder reaction. The process can be considered a relay metathesis, in which the ethylene liberated in the ring-closing metathesis

Micropatterned surfaces have been used as a tool for controlling the extent and strength of cell adhesion, the direction of cell growth and the spatial distribution of cells. In this study, chemically micropatterned surfaces were prepared by successive plasma polymerization

In the RCM reactions of a series of simple α,ω-dienes, the relative order of reactivity has been unambiguously determined showing that cyclohexene forms faster than cyclopentene or cycloheptene. 1,5-Hexadiene inhibits the RCM of 1,7-octadiene; 1,5-hexadiene cannot progress to the RCM

This study reports the preparation of functional bioinorganic hybrids, through application of the thiol-ene reaction, that exhibit catalytic activity and photoluminescent properties from enzymes and freestanding silicon nanocrystals. Thermal hydrosilylation of 1,7-octadiene and alkene-terminated poly(ethylene oxide)methyl ether with hydride-terminated silicon

The wetting of a material can be tuned by changing the roughness on its surface. Recent advances in the field of nanotechnology open exciting opportunities to control macroscopic wetting behaviour. Yet, the benchmark theories used to describe the wettability of
