1,8-Dichlorooctane Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to light yellow liquid

Uses

1,8-Dichlorooctane may be used:

• as adsorbate to investigate the performance of carbonaceous materials for the adsorption of emerging pollutants
• to prepare the C20-backbone of 1,20-substituted eicosanes carrying phosphate headgroups and readily derivatizable thiol, maleimido, and activated carboxylic ester moieties
• in the synthesis of planar-chiral imidazolium salt
• in the preparation of biosensors
• in the fabrication of strong polymeric membranes for concentrating amino acids, having applications in food and pharmaceutical industry
• in the synthesis of perfluorocarbons having biomedical applications

General Description

1,8-Dichlorooctane is a chloroparaffin. The non-exponentiality of proton spin-lattice relaxation in polycrystalline 1,8-dichlorooctane in Zeeman-quadrupole level-crossing experiments at various frequencies is reported. It has important synthetic applications in food, pharmaceutical, biomedical, electrical and electronic sectors.
