1,7-Octadiene is an organic compound with the formula (CH2=CHCH2CH2)2. It is a colorless liquid that serves as a precursor to specialty polymers. It arises commercially by the dimerization of butadiene in the presence of hydrogen. Some of the 1,6-octadiene is also formed. 1,7-Octadiene can be converted to the diol by hydroformylation followed by hydrogenation of the dialdehyde. In a related process, 1,7-Octadiene undergoes hydrocyanation to give dinitrile, which can be hydrogenated to give 1,10-diaminodecane. [1]

Dimethyloctadienes

Structurally related octadienes bearing two methyl groups are of commercial interest. Such compounds are produced by pyrolysis of pinane, which is abundantly available from terpentine or related wood-derived chemicals. [2]

Research

The diene has also been the subject of many research papers. For example, with ethylene it undergoes a cross-enyne metathesis Diels–Alder reaction. [3] It undergoes ring-closing metathesis to give cyclooctene. [4] Plasma polymerized 1,7-octadiene films deposited on silica can produce particles with tuned hydrophobicity. [5]
