Octene

2,4,4-trimethylpent-1-ene

Octene is an alkene with the formula C₈H₁₆. Several isomers of octene are known, depending on the position of the double bond and the branching of the carbon chain.

The simplest isomers is 1-octene, an alpha-olefin used primarily as a co-monomer in production of polyethylene via the solution polymerization process. Several useful octenes are obtained by dimerization of isobutene and 1-butene. These branched alkenes are used to alkylate phenols to give precursors to detergents.^[1]
