BUTADIENE REACTIONS USING THE EROS 5.0 COMPUTER PROGRAM

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.
