Description

Recommended products
Cyclopentadienylthallium

Application
Cumene (Isopropylbenzene) can be used in the synthesis of Diisopropylbenzenes via disproportionation reaction by zeolite catalysts. Cumene hydroperoxide a key precursor for many organic fine chemicals. 4-Nitro cumene using nitric acid MoO3SiO2 as a catalyst.

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

General Description
Cumene is the common name for isopropylbenzene an organic compound that is based on an aromatic hydrocarbon with an aliphatic substitution. It is a constituent of crude oil and refined fuels. It is a flammable colorless liquid that has a boiling point of 152 C. Nearly all the cumene that is produced as a pure compound on an industrial scale is converted to cumene hydroperoxide which is an intermediate in the synthesis of other industrially important chemicals primarily phenol and acetone.
