General description
Propylene is a nonpolar olefin.[1] Selective oxidation of propylene in a gas containing oxygen and hydrogen over Au/TiO2 catalysts has been reported.[2] Polymerization of propylene using Ziegler-Natta catalyst has been studied.[1] Metal-catalyzed copolymerizations of nonpolar olefins (ethylene and propylene) with alkyl acrylates has been described.[1] Copolymerization of propylene with the linear α-olefins 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-tetradecene, and 1-octadecene has been studied.[3]
Application
Propylene may be used in the synthesis of propylene oxide via epoxidation with hydrogen peroxide, in the presence of titanium silicalite catalyst.[4]
Packaging
Supplied in a Sure/Pac™ cylinder and has a brass needle valve with a male 1/4" NPTF outlet thread installed. Before using the cylinder, ensure that the valve is closed, then remove the galvanized steel hex cap that seals the outlet valve.
