Description
1,2-Epoxy-5-cyclooctene is a cyclic epoxy alkene supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for advanced organic and biochemical synthesis. With CAS number 637-90-1 and empirical formula C₈H₁₂O, it has a molar mass of 124,18 g/mol and a density of 1 g/cm³. The boiling point of 178,1 °C and flash point of 54,3 °C support planning of reaction and storage conditions in the laboratory. Its medium-ring scaffold bearing both an epoxide and an internal double bond enables selective ring-opening, functionalisation, and cyclisation strategies. This grade from manufacturer Carl ROTH is intended for research environments that need a defined purity level and transparent physical data. Applications include building-block chemistry, fine-chemical development, and specialised transformations where a compact cyclooctene epoxide is required.

Questions about 1,2-Epoxy-5-cyclooctene, min. 95 %, 500 mg
What is this article?
1,2-Epoxy-5-cyclooctene, min. 95 %, 500 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Polymers, PEGs & silicones, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A polymer, a PEG or a silicone is sold by molecular weight, or by viscosity, as much as by name. PEG 400 and PEG 4000 are different liquids and solids. A silicone oil's viscosity grades are the product range. The average molecular weight is the specification.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
