What is a Octene?

Octene (chemical formula: C₈H₁₆) is an alkene belonging to the olefin group, characterized by the presence of a single double bond in its molecular structure. As a member of the eight-carbon alkenes, octene is an important raw material in industrial chemistry. It is primarily used in the production of polyolefins and as an intermediate in various chemical syntheses. Octene plays a vital role in petrochemical industries, especially in processes such as ethylene upgrading and alkylation reactions. It is also used in the synthesis of high molecular weight compounds and surfactants made from ethylene. There are several isomers of octene, each with distinct chemical properties.

Octene can also be produced as a by-product in petroleum and gas processing, and it is utilized in the synthesis of various chemical products.
