Use | cycloocta-tetraenes are typical unsaturated hydrocarbons without the characteristics of benzene-based compounds. It can react with bromine, hydrogen halide acid and the like, and can also catalyze hydrogenation to generate cyclooctane, which is easy to be oxidized and polymerized, and is used in the manufacture of synthetic fibers, dyes, drugs and the like. |
production method | in, a German chemist R. Wilschmitt used pseudo-punicine as a raw material to prepare cyclooctraene. During the Second World War, the German chemist J. W. Repe discovered that four acetylene molecules were cyclized in the presence of nickel cyanide and under pressure to produce cyclooctylene, which was used for mass preparation. |
