Use | for organic synthesis. The reference solution was analyzed by chromatography. used as solvent and chromatographic analysis reference liquid is one of the components of industrial gasoline, and can also be used as solvent and organic synthesis raw material solvent. Organic Synthesis. Standard for gas chromatographic analysis. |
production method | octane is present in petroleum. Laboratory preparations can be synthesized from bromobutane. 68.5g(0.5mol) of bromobutane was added in portions to a flask containing 23g(1mol) of fine strip sodium metal and, if not reacted, heated slightly. After addition, the reactants were placed for 1-2H, and ethanol and water were refluxed for 3H to hydrolyze the bromobutane, separate the upper organic phase, wash with water, dry with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the 1.23-126 °c fraction was collected by fractional distillation to give 15g of N-octane. |
