colourless liquid

The Uses of 1-Decene

1-Decene is the only isomer of industrial importance. it is used as a monomer in copolymers and is an intermediate in the production of epoxides, amines, oxo alcohols, synthetic lubricants, synthetic fatty acids, and alkylated aromatics. 1-Decene has been isolated from the leaves and rhizome of the plant Farfugium japonicum and has been detected as the initial product in the microbial degradation of n-decane.

The Uses of 1-Decene

Solvent, organic synthesis.

General Description

Colorless watery liquid with a pleasant odor. Floats on water.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

1-Decene may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. May react exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators, may undergo exothermic addition polymerization reactions. Will attack some forms of plastics [USCG, 1999].

Hazard

Moderate fire risk.

Health Hazard

Vapors may produce slight irritation of eyes and respiratory tract if present in high concentration. May also act as a slight anesthetic at high concentration.
