umbrella flower hydrocarbon | umbrella flower hydrocarbon is converted from d-Limonene, after the transformation will become more stable on the umbrella flower hydrocarbon, chemical structure is more stable, because containing benzene ring, the umbrella flower hydrocarbon antibacterial anti-inflammatory effect is more obvious and strong. The characteristics of the umbrella flower hydrocarbon are to relieve bone pain, promote blood circulation, relieve rheumatism, warm joints, maintain joints and so on. The molecular structure of the umbrella flower hydrocarbon is like a sun umbrella supported on the ground, which is larger and better protected than a small umbrella of terpinene. There is a good bactericidal antiviral immune stimulation effect, like a single terpene in the protection of health of the sun umbrella. However, the stimulation of the umbrella flower hydrocarbon is stronger than the limonene, and the direct application will cause the skin to be Fever Red. The essential oil containing the umbrella flower hydrocarbon is recommended to be diluted and applied to avoid burning the skin. Preservation of essential oils containing components of the umbrella flower hydrocarbon need to pay attention to the isolation of air, to avoid oxidation, otherwise the umbrella flower hydrocarbon will continue to be oxidized to more irritating to the skin of the phenol. |

Use | flavorant. used in the pharmaceutical industry used in the preparation of p-cresol, acetone, used as intermediates of dyes, medicines, spices. Isopropyl-p-toluene is found in a variety of essential oils and is itself an expectorant, antitussive and antitussive drug. used in organic synthesis and formulation of paint diluents. It is used as an intermediate for dyes, medicines and fragrances. |
production method | is obtained from the reaction of camphor and phosphorus pentoxide by removal of nitrate. First, the powdery camphor and phosphorus pentoxide were heated at 176 ° C. For 12h and dehydrogenated to form isopropyl p-toluene. After Acid-base purification and distillation under reduced pressure, a finished product was obtained at a yield of 37%. d-Limonene or dipentene is converted by dehydrogenation. |
