Properties:

One of the two isomers of Butadiene, differing in the position of the double bonds.

Colourless, not very toxic, combustible gas with a tendency to polymerise. Readily soluble in organic solvents.

An inhibitor (usually tert-butylcatechol) is added for storage.

Butadiene is obtained almost exclusively from petrochemical industry processes and is an important byproduct in petroleum cracking, especially in steam crackers. It can be isolated by various liquid-liquid extraction processes using acetonitrile, dimethylformamide and furfural. 

It is accessible in large amounts via the catalytic dehydrogenation of butane and butene. 

1-3 Butadiene Uses and Applications

Butadiene is the most important raw material for synthetic rubber, partly as homopolymer (BR) and the majority as copolymer with styrene or acrylonitrile. Other areas of use include the manufacture of thermoplastics, dispersion paints, chloroprene and polyamides such as Nylon and Perlon.
