DIETHYLDICYCLOPENTADIENE MIXTURE - Introduction
Diethyldiclopentadiene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C14H20. It is a colorless to yellow liquid with a strong aromatic odor.
diethyldiclopentadiene is mainly used to prepare high-performance high-temperature elastomers, such as high-temperature sealing materials and elastomer sealants. It also has certain applications in the rubber industry and can be used in the preparation of coatings and adhesives.
The preparation of diethyldiclopentadiene typically uses benzene as a starting material. First, benzene is reacted with divinylmethylsilane in the presence of an oxidizing agent such as benzophenone peroxide to form the corresponding alcohol. Then, diethyldiclopentadiene is obtained by dehydration and condensation reaction.
When using diethyldiclopentadiene, you need to pay attention to its irritation to the skin and eyes. Wear appropriate protective gloves, goggles and protective masks. Dust, smoke or mist should be avoided during operation to avoid inhalation and contact. In addition, diethyldiclopentadiene should also be stored in a well-ventilated place away from fire and oxidizing agents.
