Abstract

2-Butene has been found to react with oxygen at temperatures of 375° to 500°. At the higher temperatures, polymerization as well as oxidation takes place. The products of the reaction which have been identified are acetaldehyde, glyoxal and/or glycollic aldehyde, 1,3-butadiene, acid, peroxide and an olefin oxide. The simplest explanation of the reactions occurring involve both hydroxylation and peroxide formation as primary products.
