Description
Show full descriptionGeneral description of 1,2,7,8-Diepoxyoctane:
1,2,7,8-Diepoxyoctane [2426-07-5] is aliphatic compound with a boiling point of 120 °C at 28 Torr. [1] It is highly toxic oil which can cause cancer and linking of DNA.[2] It is commonly used as linking agent in the preparation of hyaluronic acid hydrogels which are kind of promising body filler for tissue engineering [3] or in enhancing thermal stability of Candida antarctica Lipase B enzyme.[4] This enzyme is widely used as catalyst in industrial processes.Preparation:
1,2,7,8-Diepoxyoctane can be synthesized by epoxidation of 1,7-octadiene using peracids such as m-CPBA. Alternatively, it can be obtained via enzymatic epoxidation catalyzed by Pseudomonas oleovorans.[5][6]Product categorization (Chemical groups):
