1,8-Dichlorooctane (CAS: 112-56-9) is a linear alkylating agent with molecular formula C8H16Cl2. It is industrially synthesized via chlorination of 1,8-octanediol or addition of HCl to octene. This bifunctional reagent serves as a critical intermediate in polymer chemistry and specialty synthesis.
Strictly store in cool, dry, ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Requires PPE including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection due to skin irritation risks. Not approved for direct clinical use; handle only in controlled industrial settings.
