Methylcyclopenta-1,3-diene(CAS#26519-91-5)

Introduction

Methylcyclopentadiene. Its properties are as follows:Physical properties: Methylcyclopentadiene is a colorless liquid with a special fragrance.Chemical properties: Methylcyclopentadiene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon, which can undergo addition reactions and free radical reactions. It can undergo hydrogenation reaction with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to produce methylcyclopentane. It can also undergo polymerization reactions to produce polymethylcyclopentadiene.It can also be used in some reactions in organic synthesis, such as the polymerization of olefins.Preparation method: There are various preparation methods for methylcyclopentadiene, and the common ones are obtained through hydrocarbon dehydration, dehydrogenation or decarburization. For example, methylcyclopentadiene can be prepared from isobutanol by dehydration, and then by heating and dehydrogenation.Safety Information: Methylcyclopentadiene has low toxicity but high volatility. Methylcyclopentadiene is flammable and contact with open flames and oxygen should be avoided.
