Thermal Reaction of DAO in Excess Ethylene. To get better knowledge about the formation of cyclopentene and 1-pentene, DAO was employed as another source material for allyl radicals. In the case of the pyrolysis of DAO in excess ethylene, the reaction temperature was considerably lowered, and a large amount of diallyl was produced, accompanied with cyclopentene, 1-pentene, propylene, 1-butene, butadiene and cyclopentadiene. All of these except diallyl were the same main products as obtained in the pyrolysis of diallyl in excess ethylene. In other words, the same mechanism regulate both the reactions of DAO and those of diallyl in the presence of ethylene.

The latest of three ethylene recovery plants was started in 1991. Sasol sold almost 300,000 t of ethylene in 1992. Sasol also produces polypropylene at Secunda from propylene produced at Sasol Two. In 1992 Sasol started constmction of a linear alpha olefin plant at Secunda to be completed in 1994 (40). Initial production is expected to be 100,000 t/yr pentene and hexene. Sasol also has a project under constmction to extract and purify krypton and xenon from the air separation plants at Sasol Two. Other potential new products under consideration at Sasol are acrylonitrile, acetic acid, acetates, and alkylamines. 

Propylene Dimer. The synthesis of isoprene from propjiene (109,110) is a three-step process. The propjiene is dimeri2ed to 2-methyl-1-pentene, which is then isomeri2ed to 2-methyl-2-pentene in the vapor phase over siUca alumina catalyst. The last step is the pyrolysis of 2-methyi-2-pentene in a cracking furnace in the presence of (NH 2 (111,112). Isoprene is recovered from the resulting mixture by conventional distillation. 

Methyl-l-Pen ten e. This olefin is produced commercially by dimeriza tion of propylene in the presence of potassium-based catalysts at 150—160°C and - 10 MPa. Commercial processes utilize several catalysts, such as sodium-promoted potassium carbonate and sodium- and alurninum-promoted potassium hydroxide (12—14) in a fixed-bed reactor. The reaction produces a mixture of C olefins containing 80—85% of 4-methyl- 1-pentene. 

Propylene oxide is a colorless, low hoiling (34.2°C) liquid. Table 1 lists general physical properties Table 2 provides equations for temperature variation on some thermodynamic functions. Vapor—liquid equilibrium data for binary mixtures of propylene oxide and other chemicals of commercial importance ate available. References for binary mixtures include 1,2-propanediol (14), water (7,8,15), 1,2-dichloropropane [78-87-5] (16), 2-propanol [67-63-0] (17), 2-methyl-2-pentene [625-27-4] (18), methyl formate [107-31-3] (19), acetaldehyde [75-07-0] (17), methanol [67-56-1] (20), ptopanal [123-38-6] (16), 1-phenylethanol [60-12-8] (21), and / /f-butanol [75-65-0] (22,23). 

A second route based on olefin disproportionation was developed by Phillips Petroleum (131). Here isobutylene reacts with propylene to form isoamylenes, which are dehydrogenated to isoprene. 2-Butene can be used in place of propylene since it also yields isoamylene and the coproduct propylene can be recycled. Use of mixed butylenes causes the formation of pentenes, giving piperjlene, which contaminates isoprene. 

Polyethylene displays good heat resistance in the absence of oxygen in vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere, up to the temperature of 290°C. Higher temperature brings about the molecular-chain scission followed by a drop in the molecular-weight average. At temperatures in excess of 360°C the formation of volatile decomposition products can be observed. The main components are as follows ethane, propane, -butane, n-pentane, propylene, butenes and pentenes [7]. 

Another approach for producing isoprene is the dimerization of propylene to 2-methyl-1-pentene. The reaction occurs at 200°C and about 200 atmospheres in the presence of a tripropyl aluminum catalyst combined with nickel or platinum. 

In this process, which has been jointly developed by Institute Francais du Petrole and Chinese Petroleum Corp., the C4 feed is mainly composed of 2-butene (1-butene does not favor this reaction but reacts differently with olefins, producing metathetic by-products). The reaction between 1-butene and 2-butene, for example, produces 2-pentene and propylene. The amount of 2-pentene depends on the ratio of 1-butene in the feedstock. 3-Hexene is also a by-product from the reaction of two butene molecules (ethylene is also formed during this reaction). The properties of the feed to metathesis are shown in Table 9-1. Table 9-2 illustrates the results from the metatheses reaction at two different conversions. The main by-product was 2-pentene. Olefins in the range of Ce-Cg and higher were present, but to a much lower extent than C5. 

A scandium complex, Cp ScH, also polymerizes ethylene, but does not polymerize propylene and isobutene [125]. On the other hand, a linked amidocyclo-pentadienyl complex [ Me2Si( / 5-C5 Me4)( /1 -NCMe3) Sc(H)(PMe3)] 2 slowly polymerizes propylene, 1-butene, and 1-pentene to yield atactic polymers with low molecular weight (Mn = 3000-7000) [126, 115]. A chiral, C2-symmetric ansa-metallocene complex of yttrium, [rac-Me2Si(C5H2SiMe3-2-Buf-4)2YH]2, polymerizes propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, and 1-hexene slowly over a period of several days at 25°C to afford isotactic polymers with modest molecular weight [114]. 

Production of chemicals became increasingly important. The recovery of oxygenates from the Fischer-Tropsch aqueous product was expanded to include niche chemicals, such as 1-propanol.45 Ethylene and propylene extraction was increased and even supplemented by the addition of a high-temperature catalytic cracker.46 Linear a-olefin extraction units for the recovery of 1-pentene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene were added to the refinery,45-47 and a new facility for the extraction of 1-heptene and its...

Popular comonomers include propylene, 4-ethyl-pentene (one of the forms of isohexene), normal hexene, and octane, all depending on the physical properties required of the polymer. 

Olefin cracking has been developed as a process to produce propylene in a highly selective manner from butenes and pentenes. Zeolites used in processes such as UOP s Olefin Cracking Process are often MFI-based in order to avoid coke buildup during the reaction, leading to longer times between catalyst regeneration (Table 12.15).

Dimerization of propylene is also used to produce isoprene. Several steps are involved. Initially, dimerization of propylene to 2-methyl-1-pentene occurs. Then isomerization to 2-methyl-2-pentene is effected. Finally, the 2-methyl-2-pentene is pyrolyzed to isoprene and methane. Another multistep synthesis starts with acetylene and acetone. Perhaps the most attractive route involves formaldehyde and isobutylene (equation 17.42). 

The first reactions concerned (Simons and Archer, 27) alkylation of benzene with propylene to form isopropylbenzene, with isobutene to form f-butylbenzene and di-f-butylbenzene, and trimethylethylene to form amylbenzene. Later on (Simons and Archer, 28) studied these and other reactions in more detail and showed that high yields could be obtained and that the product was not contaminated with tars or other obnoxious impurities. It was shown that the products obtained with trimethylethylene were mono- and di-f-amylbenzene, that phenyl-pentane resulted from the use of pentene-2, and that cyclohexene produced cyclohexylbenzene. Cinnamic acid reacted with benzene (Simons and Archer, 29) to form /3-phenylpropionic acid and allyl benzene reacted with benzene to form 1,2-diphenylpropane. It is interesting to note that although allyl alcohol reacted with benzene to form 1,2-diphenylpropane, the intermediate in the reaction, allylbenzene, was isolated and identified. This shows that in this case the hydroxyl reacted at a more rapid rate than the double bond. Both di- and triisobutylene reacted with phenol (Simons and Archer, 30) at 0°, when using hydrogen fluoride containing only relatively small quantities of water, to form f-butyl-benzene, but diisobutylene with 70% hydrogen fluoride produced p-f-octylphenol. Cyclohexene reacted with toluene to form cyclohexyl-toluene and octene-1 rapidly reacted with toluene to form 2-octyltoluene (Simons and Basler, 31).
