1-Eicosene is one of the substances used in the in vitro antimicrobial activity of essential oil of Swertia cordata aerial parts, elucidating the chemical compositions and the biological activities of the essential oil from leaves of Moringa Oleifera, preparation of tobacco flavors from Sophora Japonica L. by biological methods.
Uses
1-Eicosene was used in the synthesis of (Z)-tetracos-5-enoic acid and racemiccis-4-(2-octadecylcyclopropane-1-yl)-butanoic acid.
General Description
Copolymers of 1-eicosene and ethene has been prepared using the methylaluminoxane activated dimethylsilanediyl(tetracyclopentadienyl)(tert-butylamido)-titanium dichloride catalyst system. It polymerizes in the presence of zirconocene and hafnocene catalyst to yield poly-1-eicosene.
