Description and Uses

1,3-Butadiene is a simple conjugated diene. It is a colourless gas with a mild aromatic or gasoline-like odour and incompatible with phenol, chlorine dioxide, copper, and crotonaldehyde. The gas is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition is possible. It is an important industrial chemical used as a monomer in the production of synthetic rubber. Most butadiene is polymerised to produce synthetic rubber. While polybutadiene itself is a very soft, almost liquid, material, polymers prepared from mixtures of butadiene with styrene or acrylonitrile, such as ABS, are both tough and elastic. Styrene–butadiene rubber is the material most commonly used for the production of automobile tyres. Smaller amounts of butadiene are used to make nylon via the intermediate adiponitrile, other synthetic rubber materials such as chloroprene, and the solvent sulpholane. Butadiene is used in the industrial production of cyclododecatriene via a trimerisation reaction.

1,3-Butadiene structure

One major use of 1,3-butadiene has been in the making of synthetic rubber. Among the types of synthetic rubber made with 1,3-butadiene are styrene-butadiene and nitrile-butadiene rubbers. Cis-polybutadiene is also an extender and substitute for rubber, and trans-polybutadiene is a type of rubber with unusual properties.
1,3-Butadiene is also used extensively for various polymerizations in manufacturing plastics. It combines with activated olefins in the Diels-Alder reaction to give hydroaromatic hydrocarbons. 1,3-Butadiene undergoes 1,4 cyclization with reactants containing sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.
