Cumene (Isopropylbenzene) Supply: Core Intermediate for Phenol & Acetone
Cumene (Isopropylbenzene) Supply: Core Intermediate for Phenol & Acetone
Inside integrated petrochemical complexes, cumene (isopropylbenzene, CAS 98-82-8) operates as the liquid-phase carrier that links benzene and propylene to the phenol/acetone chain. The molecule is not sold as a final performance chemical; it is oxidized to cumene hydroperoxide and subsequently cleaved....
