polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons | indene, also known as benzocyclopropene, is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, low toxicity, human skin, the mucosa has a stimulating effect. It is naturally present in coal tar and crude oil, and indene is also released during incomplete combustion of ore fuels and the like. Formula C9H8. Molecular weight 116.16. The benzene ring and cyclopentadiene in its molecule share two adjacent carbon atoms. Appearance is a colorless liquid, non-volatile in the vapor, when standing to yellow, but exposure to sunlight will lose color, melting point -1.8°C, boiling point 182.6°C, flash point 58°C, relative density of 0.9960(25/4 deg C); Insoluble in water, can be miscible with ethanol or ether. Indene molecules contain highly chemically active Olefinic Bonds and are prone to polymerization or addition reactions. Coumarone-indene resin is a copolymer of indene and coumarone (see polymers). Indene can be polymerized at room temperature, heating or in the presence of an acidic catalyst, can make the polymerization rate increased dramatically, and concentrated sulfuric acid reaction to produce SEC-indene resin. Indene catalytic hydrogenation (see catalytic hydrogenation reaction) to produce dihydroindene. The methylene group in the indene molecule has similarities with the methylene group in the cyclopentadiene molecule. Easy oxidation, interaction with sulfur, complex, Weak acid reaction and reduction properties. Indene reacts with metallic sodium to form a sodium salt, and condenses with aldehydes and ketones (see condensation reaction) to form benzofulvenes: indene is obtained industrially from the distillation of light oil fractions from coal tar. Chemical synthesis method: at 625 ° C, from acetylene through activated carbon, or at 670 ° C four hydrogenated naphthalene by SiO2-Al2O3 catalyst obtained. Mainly used for resin raw materials, and other liquid hydrocarbon mixture as solvent paint. Hepatic necrosis and renal nest necrosis were confirmed in rats exposed at 800-900ppm (6h). Inhalation of the liquid produces a chemical property of Pneumonia. Dermatitis developed after repeated skin contact. The maximum allowable concentration in the air of the working environment is 10ppm(45mg/m3) in the United States. |
Use | used in the synthesis of resins, pesticides and solvents except for small amounts of intermediates used in organic solvents and pesticides, mainly used in the production of indene-coumarone resin. The raw material of indene-coumarone resin is the fraction of heavy benzene and light oil cut by distillation at 160-215 ℃, containing approximately 6% of styrene, 4% of coumarone, 40% of indene, 4-methyl styrene 5% and a small amount of xylene, toluene and other compounds, the total resin accounted for 60-70% of the raw materials. Under the action of a catalyst such as aluminum chloride, boron fluoride or concentrated sulfuric acid, indene and gumarone fractions are polymerized under pressure or without pressure, I .e., indene-gumarone resin is formed. mainly used in the production of indene-coumarone resin.

It may be mixed with other liquid hydrocarbons as a coating solvent. It may also be used as an intermediate to the insecticide or in combination with other liquid hydrocarbons as a coating solvent. |
production method | in high temperature tar, indene content is 0.25%-0.3%, it mainly exists in coal tar and crude benzene fraction with boiling point of 168-175 ℃, and in heavy benzene before 200 ℃, coumarone and indene account for more than 40%. The distillation is carried out on a fractionation column with 44 theoretical plates using heavy benzene as a raw material, the reflux ratio is controlled to 15-20:1, the top temperature of the cut column is 180.6-181.1 ° C., and the content of indene can reach 98%. Another method for extracting indene is azeotropic distillation using heavy benzene and crude solvent oil as raw materials and furfural as an azeotropic agent. Since furfural or formaldehyde can form an azeotrope with the hydrocarbon components of heavy benzene, but does not form an azeotrope with indene, pure products can be prepared. |
