Abstract

The purpose of this short note is to prove that if R is an alternative ring whose associators are not zero-divisors, then R has no zero-divisors. By a result of Bruck and Kleinfeld, if, in addition, the characteristic of R is not 2, then the central quotient of R is an octonion division algebra over some field.
