Propene properties

CH3CHCICH2CI. Colourless liquid with a pleasant odour b.p. 96 C, Manufactured by treating liquid chlorine with an excess of liquid propene. It is very similar in properties to ethylene dichloride, and is used for similar purposes. 

Having examined the properties of alkenes and introduced the elements of polymers and poly merization let s now look at some commercial applications of ethylene and propene... 

When propene is polymerized under free radical conditions the polypropylene that results IS atactic Catalysts of the Ziegler-Natta type however permit the preparation of either isotactic or syndiotactic polypropylene We see here an example of how proper choice of experimental conditions can affect the stereochemical course of a chemical reaction to the extent that entirely new materials with unique properties result... 

Isopropyl alcohol is prepared from petroleum by hydration of propene With a boil mg point of 82°C isopropyl alcohol evaporates quickly from the skin producing a cool mg effect Often containing dissolved oils and fragrances it is the major component of rubbing alcohol Isopropyl alcohol possesses weak antibacterial properties and is used to maintain medical instruments m a sterile condition and to clean the skin before minor surgery... 

A variable pressure oil pump was used in this distillation. Approximately 10 g of a volatile component, consisting mostly of hexamethyl-disiloxane, was obtained at room temperature (15 (in) before the forerun. The forerun contained the desired product and mineral oil from the n-butyllithium solution. The pot residue was about 5 g. The submitters find the disilyl compound thus obtained is contaminated with a trace amount of mineral oil and 4-6% of a vinylsilane, probably 2-methyl-l-trimethylsiloxy-3-trimethylsilyl-2-propene. This impurity becomes quite significant if the reaction medium is less polar than the one described (e.g., too much hexane from n-butyllithium is allowed to remain behind). The spectral properties of the desired product... 

In Section 6.21 we listed three main methods for polymerizing alkenes cationic, free-radical, and coordination polymerization. In Section 7.15 we extended our knowledge of polymers to their stereochemical aspects by noting that although free-radical polymerization of propene gives atactic polypropylene, coordination polymerization produces a stereoregulai polymer with superior physical properties. Because the catalysts responsible for coordination polymerization ar e organometallic compounds, we aie now in a position to examine coordination polymerization in more detail, especially with respect to how the catalyst works. 

Bromination of the methyl group of (249) with A -bromosuccinimide, followed by reaction with excess secondary amine gave (250) which shows combined analgesic and antitussive properties. The Reformatsky reaction has also been used for the preparation of 2-amino-ethyl 3,3-diaryl-3-hydroxypropanates (251) as well as their dehydration products. The propene amides (252) have also been prepared for pharmacological evaluation. In l-methyl-3-bis (2-thienyl)-...

Collins et al. reported in 1995 that catalysts based on hafnium are desirable for the production of elastomeric polypropylene in that they polymerize propylene to a high molecular weight polymer and are indefinitely stable under typical polymerization conditions [8], Based on the theory that hafnium as a catalytic center leads to a significant increase of molecular weight in propene polymerization compared with the zirconium-based catalyst, Rieger et al. searched for hafnocene systems to obtain polymers with new properties. 

With propene, n-butene, and n-pentene, the alkanes formed are propane, n-butane, and n-pentane (plus isopentane), respectively. The production of considerable amounts of light -alkanes is a disadvantage of this reaction route. Furthermore, the yield of the desired alkylate is reduced relative to isobutane and alkene consumption (8). For example, propene alkylation with HF can give more than 15 vol% yield of propane (21). Aluminum chloride-ether complexes also catalyze self-alkylation. However, when acidity is moderated with metal chlorides, the self-alkylation activity is drastically reduced. Intuitively, the formation of isobutylene via proton transfer from an isobutyl cation should be more pronounced at a weaker acidity, but the opposite has been found (92). Other properties besides acidity may contribute to the self-alkylation activity. Earlier publications concerned with zeolites claimed this mechanism to be a source of hydrogen for saturating cracking products or dimerization products (69,93). However, as shown in reaction (10), only the feed alkene will be saturated, and dehydrogenation does not take place.

Rhenium is one of the oxophilic atoms effective for oxidation reactions. ReOx species are likely to have chemical interaction with various oxide supports and exhibit unique catalytic properties that cannot be observed on monomeric rhenium oxides. A new active six-membered octahedral Re cluster in zeolite pores (H-ZSM-5 [HZ]) is produced from inactive [Re04] monomers in situ under selective propene oxidation to acrolein (C3H6+02 - CH2=CHCH0+H20) in the presence of ammonia that is not involved in the reaction equation [16], The cluster is transformed back to the original inactive monomer in the absence ammonia. Note that coexistence of spectator NH3 is indispensable for the selective oxidation.
