Chemical properties and reactions of High purity 1-Butene
Due to the presence of carbon-carbon double bonds in butene molecules, butene exhibits certain activity in chemical properties. Butene is prone to addition reactions (such as electrophilic addition reactions, nucleophilic addition reactions) and polymerization reactions (such as addition polymerization, condensation polymerization). In addition reactions, the carbon-carbon double bonds of butene can be added with molecules such as hydrogen halides and water to generate corresponding halogenated alkanes or alcohol compounds. In polymerization reactions, butene molecules can form high molecular polymers through the interconnection of carbon-carbon double bonds. In addition, butene can also undergo carbonyl synthesis with carbon monoxide and hydrogen to generate aldehyde compounds; under the action of catalysts, it can also undergo oxidation reactions, ammoxidation reactions, etc.
Application fields and importance of High purity 1-Butene
As an important basic chemical raw material, High purity 1-Butene has a wide range of applications in the chemical industry. It is mainly used for dehydrogenation to produce butadiene, which is an important raw material for synthetic rubber; at the same time, butene can also generate alcohol compounds such as n-butanol and sec-butanol through hydration reactions. In addition, the isomers of butene also have their own unique application value. For example, 1-butene and 2-butene can be used to synthesize C4, C5 derivatives and make cross-linking agents, composite gasoline, etc.; isobutylene is the raw material for making butyl rubber and polyisobutylene rubber. After reacting with formaldehyde to form isoprene, it can be made into polyisobutylene polymers of different molecular weights, which are used as lubricant additives, resins, etc.
The importance of high purity 1-Butene is not only reflected in its wide range of applications, but also in its status as a basic raw material for petrochemicals. By cracking raw materials such as petroleum gas, butene-rich fractions can be obtained. After further separation and purification, these fractions can be used to produce various organic chemical raw materials and polymer materials. Therefore, the production and utilization of butene is of great significance to promoting the development of the chemical industry and improving people's living standards.
