Kesi le lanu ma le manogi manogi vaivai, faigofie ona liu. Soluble i le ava malosi ma le ether, ma soluble foi i le acetone, benzene, dichloroethane, amyl acetate, furfural, ma le apamemea ammonia acetate solution. E le mafai ona solu ile vai.

1) O le tali a Diels-Alder e tupu mai i le electron-deficient dienophilic compounds e maua ai le anthraquinone, o ona mea e maua mai e taua tele le vali, fungicides ma insecticides. (2) Tali atu i maleic anhydride (fa'aigoaina maleic anhydride) ona fa'aputu lea e maua ai le tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, lea e mafai ona fa'aaogaina e fai ma sui fa'amalolo ma palasitika mo polyester resin ma epoxy resin. O le Tetrahydrophthalic anhydride ona fa'ama'iina lea i le nitric acid e maua ai le butane tetracarboxylic acid, o se mea mata'utia mo le faia o vali vai. E fa'apena fo'i, o le tetrahydrophthalic anhydride o lo'o fa'asalaina e maua ai le hexahydrophthalic anhydride, lea e mafai ona fa'aaogaina e fai ma sui fa'amalolo mo le epoxy resin. (3) E tali atu i le sulfur dioxide e maua ai le cyclobutene Chemicalbook sulfone, lea e saunia i se vaifofo vai ma faʻamaʻiina i le i ai o se skeleton nickel catalyst e maua ai le cyclobutene sulfolane, o se solu filifilia mo le suʻeina o le hydrocarbon manogi. O se fa'afefiloi o le sulfolane ma le diisopropanolamine e mafai ona fa'aaogaina e fai ma kesi decarbonation. (4) Ole tali telomerization laina ole butadiene e aoga tele ile alamanuia. A maeʻa le faʻavasegaina o laina, e maua ai se olefin filifili saʻo e valu-carbon, lea e faʻafefeteina ma hydrogenated e maua ai le nonanol, lea e faʻaaogaina taua i le faʻaogaina o mea manogi, surfactants, ma mea faʻapipiʻi lubricant. O le fa'aogaina o le cobalt complex e fai ma fa'amalosi, o lona dimerization, trimerization ma le tetramerization o mea uma ia mo le tu'ufa'atasia o ava maualuga ma le macrocyclic musk.
