Abstract
Summary:
1. A satisfactory laboratory apparatus and method for preparing butadiene from 2,3-dichlorobutane, by passing over BaCl2 on pumice, at temperatures ranging from 500-600°C., has been described.
2. An analytical method for the products is developed using maleic anhydride to absorb butadiene, 87 percent sulfuric acid for butenes, and fractional distillation for the separation of chlorobutenes from the butadiene.
3. Butadiene, chlorobutene, butene, lower hydrocarbons, and hydrochloric acid have been shown to result from the pyrolysis of 2,3-dichlorobutane over BaCl2.
4. Conditions are described for obtaining yield, of butadiene as high as 57.6% and optimum conditions are predicted. The higher yields here obtained exceeding those found in the literature, for this pyrolysis.
