Paraformaldehyde is depolymerized in methanol and then reacted with isobutylene in the presence of an alkali metal phosphate catalyst to synthesize 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol. The reaction temperature is 200-300℃ and the pressure is 8-10 MPa. The conversion rate of the obtained product is 68%.
clear colorless to light yellow liquid
3-Methyl-3-buten-1-ol was used to study the rate coefficient for the gas-phase reaction of OH radical with 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol.
ChEBI: A primary alcohol having the structure of isopentyl alcohol but with a double bond between C-3 and one of the C-4 atoms.
3-Methyl-3-buten-1-ol is a volatile aliphatic alcohol found in the extracts of basil and thyme leaves, immature mangaba fruits and some honey samples.
