Abstract
This study is intended to provide a picture of the probable products that can be produced when butadiene reacts with different reagents. Industrial processes are largely determined by thermodynamic considerations. Only if a reaction is exothermic can the search for an appropriate catalyst begin. Therefore, as a guide to the evaluation of the different reaction pathways and products, the heats of reaction are investigated.
Butadiene is considered as one of the most important starting materials under ( C4-C5 ) [1]. As a monomer and a comonomer, it is used for the synthesis of elastomer thermoplastics and dispersion. Also, because of the fact that it is inexpensive byproduct, makes it one of the most important starting materials in industry.
