Propylene Route:
In this propylene is first converted to allyl
alcohol .
Hydroformylation of allyl alcohol gives an
aldehyde which on hydrogenation gives 1,4Butanediol.
Chloroprene(CH2=CHCl=CH2)
Which is mainly used in oil, solvent and cracking process.
Process technology:
Acetylene route:
This is two stage process.
In the first stage, acetylene is dimerized to mono vinyl
acetate at a temperature of about 50-100 0C & 0.1-0.4
Mpa pressure in the presence of cuprous chloride.
In the second stage gaseous vinyl acetate is reacted
with HCl in the presence of cuprous chloride at 50 0 C &
0.2Mpa pressure to yield chloroprene.
Byproducts are: Dichlorobutenes, methylvinylketones,
etc.,
Butadiene Route:
The process involves chlorination of
Isoprene
Isoprene is one of the most important C5
Goodyear process:
In three stage process.
In this propylene dimerized in the presence of
tripropylaluminium in combination with nickel
or platinum to yield 2-methyl-1-pentene.
In the second stage 2-methyl-1-pentene is
isomerized to 2-methyl 2-pentene in the
presence of acid catalyst which is subsequently
cracked to produce isoprene and methane.
Acetylene route:
In the first stage acetylene is reacted with
acetone in the presence of potash solution to
produce methyl butynol which on selective
hydrogenation in the presence of palladium
gives methyl butenol.
On dehydration at atmospheric and a
temperature of 3000C on alumina methyl
butenol to yields Isoprene.
