Clear, colorless flammable liquid with an unpleasant hydrocarbon odor.
용도
2-Methyl-1-pentene is prepared from 2-Methyl-1-pentene. 2-methyl-1-pentene is used in copolymerization of ethylene catalyzed by nonbridged half-titanocenes. The isomerization of 2-methyl-1-pentene leads to anionic activation of c-h bonds in olefins.
일반 설명
Colorless liquid. Flash point -15°F. Floats on water. Irritating vapor.
공기와 물의 반응
Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.
반응 프로필
2-Methyl-1-pentene may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. May react exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators, may undergo exothermic addition polymerization reactions.
위험도
Flammable, dangerous fire risk.
건강위험
INHALATION: May produce anesthetic effects. EYES: Moderate eye irritation possible.
화재위험
Behavior in Fire: Can react vigorously with oxidizing materials.
환경귀착
Photolytic. The reported reaction rate constants for the reaction of 2-methyl-1-pentene with OH
radicals and ozone in the atmosphere are 1.05 x 10-17 and 6.26 x 10-11 cm3/molecule?sec,
respectively (Atkinson and Carter, 1984; Atkinson, 1985). Chemical/Physical. Complete combustion in air yields carbon dioxide and water.
Purification Methods
Water is removed, and formation of peroxides is prevented by several vacuum distillations of 2-methyl-1-pentene from sodium. It is stored with sodium-potassium alloy. [Beilstein 1 IV 841.]
