  2. Cumene process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumene_process

    Cumene is oxidized in air, which removes the tertiary benzylic hydrogen from cumene and hence forms a cumene radical: The cumene radical then bonds with an oxygen molecule to give cumene peroxide radical, which in turn forms cumene hydroperoxide (C 6 H 5 C(CH 3) 2 O 2 H) by abstracting a benzylic hydrogen from another cumene molecule. This ...

  3. Acetophenone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetophenone

    Acetophenone is formed as a byproduct of the cumene process, the industrial route for the synthesis of phenol and acetone.In the Hock rearrangement of isopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, migration of a methyl group rather than the phenyl group gives acetophenone and methanol as a result of an alternate rearrangement of the intermediate:

  4. Friedel–Crafts reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedel–Crafts_reaction

    In commercial applications, the alkylating agents are generally alkenes, some of the largest scale reactions practiced in industry.Such alkylations are of major industrial importance, e.g. for the production of ethylbenzene, the precursor to polystyrene, from benzene and ethylene and for the production of cumene from benzene and propene in cumene process:

  5. Cumene hydroperoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumene_hydroperoxide

    Cumene hydroperoxide is an intermediate in the cumene process for producing phenol and acetone from benzene and propene. Cumene hydroperoxide is a radical initiator for production of acrylates. [5] Cumene hydroperoxide is involved as an organic peroxide in the production of propylene oxide by the oxidation of propene. This technology was ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumene

    Cumene (isopropylbenzene) is an organic compound that contains a benzene ring with an isopropyl substituent. It is a constituent of crude oil and refined fuels. It is a flammable colorless liquid that has a boiling point of 152 °C.

    A single gas or propane burner used on high or an oven set to 350 °F for 45 minutes raised benzene concentrations in the air above the baseline in every kitchen that was tested and, in some cases ...

  8. Petrochemical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrochemical

    Benzene is a raw material for dyes and synthetic detergents, and benzene and toluene for isocyanates MDI and TDI used in making polyurethanes. Manufacturers use xylenes to produce plastics and synthetic fibers. Synthesis gas is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen used to produce methanol and other chemicals.

  9. α-Methylstyrene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α-Methylstyrene

    Normally these cumene radicals are converted to cumene hydroperoxide, however they can also undergo radical disproportionation to form AMS. Although this is only a minor side reaction, the cumene process is run at such a large scale that the recovery of AMS is commercially viable and satisfies much of the global demand. AMS can also be produced ...
