Description and Uses
Cycloheptene is a flammable, colorless, oilyliquid. Molecular weight=96.2; Boiling point=115℃;Flash point=27℃ (also listed at 23℃). HazardIdentification (based on NFPA-704 M Rating System):Health 1, Flammability 3, Reactivity 0. Insoluble in water.
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.
