General description

2-methylpropene is used to synthesize S-(+)-2,2-Dimethylcyclopropane carboxylic acid via asymmetric cyclopropanation reaction.

Application

2-Methylpropene can be used in the following reactions:
  • Asymmetric synthesis of S-(+)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylic acid, a key building block for the synthesis of cilastatin.
  • Alkylation of p-xylene to form t-butyl-p-xylene catalyzed by a heteropolyacid.
  • Synthesis of poly(2-methylpropene) or polyisobutene.

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.

Compatible with the following:
