1,3-Butadiene → HCID 69829552, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

214 g (1.0 mole) 75% 4,4-dimethoxy-1-nitro-1-butene and 0.1 g phenothiazine were put in an autoclave at room temperature, together with 850 ml toluene. Then 216 g (4.0 mole) butadiene were added under pressure. Subsequently stirring was conducted under the own pressure (approx. 6 bar) for 30 hours at 100° C. The pressure was released and the temperature reduced. Finally toluene and unreacted butadiene were distilled off. 270 g of an oily residue were obtained, containing about 39% reaction product and about 10% educt, as confirmed by GC. The crude product was employed without any further purification in the next step.
