colorless liquid. Melting Point -52 °c. Boiling point 173 °c. The relative density was 0.8532. Refractive index 4866. Flash point (closed cup) 52.2 °c. Spontaneous ignition point 420. With the role of chromium trioxide to generate benzoic acid, insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, benzene and acetone.
It is obtained by side-chain alkylation of toluene and propylene in the presence of an alkali metal catalyst. In the above reaction, potassium metal was used as a catalyst, and the amount of potassium per mole of toluene was 0.02g(K/Na2 C03 -4:1). The reaction temperature was 190 to 205 °c. Pressure 2. 94MPa. The reaction time was 1.5-2.Oh, and the ratio of propylene to toluene was 1:1. This method has the advantages of good orientation, high yield, single product, simple treatment process, the pure product is obtained by distillation, the conversion of toluene is 54. 53%, the selectivity of isobutylbenzene is 89. 6%, and the yield of isobutylbenzene is 48. 88%.
for the production of pharmaceutical ibuprofen, coatings, plasticizers, surfactants, can also be used as solvents.
This product is slightly toxic, rat oral LD505000mg/kg. This product is flammable, should be stored in a cool, ventilated warehouse, away from the fire, heat source, and oxidant storage, keep the package intact, to prevent damage. Galvanized iron drum packaging, PTFE liner, net weight 15 0kg.
