Application

2-Methylpropane can be used as a starting material to prepare:
  • Isobutylene by catalytic dehydrogenation using various catalysts.
  • Isopropyl methyl ketone by formylation reaction with carbon monoxide in the presence of super acid catalyst.
  • tert-Butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) by oxidation.

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.
