1,7-Octadiene (CH) is a light flammable organic compound.
Researchers have used 1,7-octadiene to assist ethylene in a cross-enyne metathesis Diels–Alder reaction.
Plasma polymerized 1,7-octadiene films deposited on silica can produce particles with tuned hydrophobicity.
Known to be incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.[1]
