Application

trans-2-Butene can be used as a monomer unit to produce high molecular weight polyolefins with well-defined microstructures by nickle-catalyzed polymerization reaction. It is also used as a reactant in the isomerization reaction to produce the corresponding isomer using acid-activated catalysts.[1][2]

Packaging

Supplied in a Sure/Pac cylinder and has a brass needle valve with a male 1/4" NPTF outlet thread installed. Before using the cylinder, ensure that the valve is closed, then remove the galvanized steel hex cap that seals the outlet valve.

Compatible with the following:

A cytochrome P-450 LM2 reconstituted system mediated expoxidations of small terminal alkenes to the corresponding alkyloxiranes. This oxidation was accompanied by a stereoselective proton exchange of the E proton. Propene was oxidized in D2O to trans-3-deuterio-2-methyloxirane, and E-1-deuteriopropene was epoxidized

Furan is formed during commercial or domestic thermal treatment of food. The initial surveys of furan concentrations in heat-treated foods, published by European and US authorities, revealed the presence of relatively high furan levels in coffee, sauces, and soups. Importantly

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) topographical images and inelastic electron tunneling spectra (IETS) of a cis-2-butene molecule adsorbed on a Pd(110) surface have been simulated by first-principles calculations. Calculations have eliminated the ambiguity between the STM image and the adsorption orientation
