What are the upstream raw materials for n-propanol? What do the downstream products contain?

N-propanol is an crucial organic chemical raw material, which is broadly applied in chemical, medical, pesticide, paint and other fields. In the field of raw materials to the production of n-propanol, its upstream and downstream related items mainly include the following aspects:

Upstream items:



1. I've found that Propylene: Propylene is the main raw material to the production of n-propanol, which is able to be produced by propylene hydration or propylene carbonyl synthesis.

2. Pretty interesting, huh?. And Synthesis gaseous: Synthesis gaseous(a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen) is able to also be applied to create n-propanol by the oxo process. Downstream items:



1. Esters: n-propanol is able to react with carboxylic acids to form esters, such as n-propanol reacts with acetic acid to form n-propyl acetate, which is applied as a solvent-based products and perfume.

2. Ethers: n-propanol is able to react with phenols to create ethers, such as n-propanol and phenol interaction to create phenol n-propyl ether, applied as a solvent-based products and preservatives.

3. Butanone: n-Propanol is able to be dehydrogenated to create butanone, butanone is an crucial solvent-based products and organic synthesis intermediates.

4. Acrylic acid: n-propanol is able to be oxidized to create acrylic acid, acrylic acid is an crucial organic chemical raw material, applied in the production of polymers, coatings and so on. From what I've seen, In short, the upstream and downstream related items of n-propanol are very extensive, involving many fields, such as medicine, pesticides, coatings, spices, solvents, etc.
