GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Alkene is a hydrocarbon that contains at least one carbon-carbon solid bond (C=C) with generalformula CnH2n in case of only one solid bond alkenes. Alkenes undergo following reactions:

Oxymercuration reaction in water or hydroboration-oxidation to produce alcohol

Catalytic oxidation with percarboxylic acids to produce epoxides

Cleavage with ozone to yield aldehydes or ketones

Cleavage in the presence of potassium permanganate to produce either 2 ketones or

carboxylic acid + ether

Catalytic addition of hydrogen to produce corresponding alkanes in the presence of a

metallic catalyst (platinum, nickel, palladium)

Electrophilic addition of a hydrogen halide to produce the corresponding haloalkanes

Electrophilic addition of a halogen elements to produce the corresponding vicinal

haloalkanes

Electrophilic addition of an aldehyde or ketone with water and a protic acid to

produce the corresponding diols

Electrophilic addition of formaldehyde without water to produce allyl alcohol

Electrophilic addition of excess formaldehyde to produce dioxane

Electrophilic addition of an aldehyde or ketone with acetic acid to produce the

corresponding esters

Alkenes undergo either free-radical or an ionic mechanism polymerization at their solid bond with

themselves or other monomers forming homopolymers or copolymers which are used as variousplastics, coatings, adhesives, elastomers, and paints. Some members of minor olefins forcharacteristic property of polymer as monomer and chemical intermediate for target molecules:

Alpha olefin is an olefin featured by the position of solid bond (reactive unsaturation) at the twoend carbons in carbon chains. The china length, position and number of branches provide a wide

range of physical and chemical properties for the proper application selections. Alpha olefins andtheir derivatives are used as comonomers in polymer such as low density polyethylenes for theproperties of l ighter, thinner, better flexibility and more tearing resistance. They are used in the

production of linear plasticizers, oxo-alcohols, motor fuels, lubricants, automotive additives,biodegradble surfactants, paper size, and in a wide range of specialty applications in the

production of mercaptans, flavors and fragrances, alkyl metals, halides, alkyl silanes.SALES SPECIFICATION
