A:
Cumene has an crucial position in the field of raw materials to chemical production, and its upstream and downstream related items are extensive. The following will introduce in detail the main upstream and downstream related items of cumene. Upstream items:



1. But Propylene: Propylene is one of the main raw materials of cumene, which reacts with benzene to form cumene through alkylation interaction. The production methods of propylene mainly include steam cracking, catalytic cracking, propane dehydrogenation, etc. In fact

2. Benzene: benzene is another crucial raw material of cumene, which is alkylated with propylene to obtain cumene. Benzene mainly comes from the separation of aromatic hydrocarbons in petrochemical processes. And Downstream items:



1. Phenol: Cumene is able to be converted to phenol by oxidation. For example Phenol is an crucial organic chemical raw material, which is broadly applied in the production of phenolic resin, bisphenol A, caprolactam and so on.

2. Acetone: During the oxidation of cumene, acetone will be generated at the same time. Acetone is an crucial solvent-based products and organic synthesis raw material, applied in the production of coatings, adhesives, medical intermediates.

3. For instance Cumene hydroperoxide: Cumene hydroperoxide is able to be obtained by the interaction of cumene and hydrogen peroxide, which is an crucial oxidant and is able to be applied to epoxidation reactions and epoxidation of olefins. But Generally speaking

4. From what I've seen, methyl methacrylate: cumene after oxidation, esterification and other reactions is able to be generated methyl methacrylate, which is applied in the production of organic glass, coatings, adhesives and other polymer monomers. According to research Through the above introduction, we is able to see that cumene has a wide range of upstream and downstream related items in the field of chemical production raw materials, involving many crucial organic chemical raw materials and intermediates.
