1-Butene (IUPAC name: But-1-ene, also known as 1-butylene) is the organic compound with the formula CH3CH2CH=CH2. It is a colorless gas, but easily condensed to give a colorless liquid. It is classified as a linear alpha-olefin (terminal alkene).{{cite web|url=http://chemicalland21.com/industrialchem/organic/1-BUTENE.htm|title=1-BUTENE|website=chemicalland21.com|access-date=22 April 2018}} It is one of the isomers of butene (butylene). It is a precursor to diverse products.

Reactions

Polymerization of 1-butene gives polybutylene, which is used to make piping for domestic plumbing.{{Ullmann|doi=10.1002/14356007.a21_487|title= Polyolefins|year=2000|last1=Whiteley|first1=Kenneth S.|last2=Heggs|first2=T. Geoffrey|last3=Koch|first3=Hartmut|last4=Mawer|first4=Ralph L.|last5=Immel|first5=Wolfgang}} Another application is as a comonomer in the production of certain kinds of polyethylene, such as linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE).{{cite journal|doi=10.1016/j.progpolymsci.2008.05.003|title=Olefin polymer technologies—History and Recent Progress at the Dow Chemical Company|year=2008|last1=Chum|first1=P. Steve|last2=Swogger|first2=Kurt W.|journal=Progress in Polymer Science|volume=33|issue=8|pages=797–819}} It has also been used as a precursor to polypropylene resins, butylene oxide, and butanone.{{cite web|url=http://www.shell.com/home/content/chemicals/products_services/our_products/lower_olefins/1_butene/product_overview/|title=1-Butene product overview|website=shell.com|access-date=22 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120210001059/http://www.shell.com/home/content/chemicals/products_services/our_products/lower_olefins/1_butene/product_overview/|archive-date=2012-02-10|url-status=dead}}

Manufacturing

1-Butene is produced by separation from crude C4 refinery streams and by ethylene dimerization. The former affords a mixture of 1-and 2-butenes, while the latter affords only the terminal alkene.{{cite web|url=http://chempedia.info/info/151339/|title=Alphabutol process - Big Chemical Encyclopedia|website=chempedia.info|access-date=22 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171208231536/http://chempedia.info/info/151339/|archive-date=2017-12-08|url-status=dead}} It is distilled to give a very high purity product. An estimated 12 billion kilograms were produced in 2011.{{Ullmann|last1=Geilen|first1=Frank M.A.|last2=Stochniol|first2=Guido|last3=Peitz|first3=Stephan|last4=Schulte-Koerne|first4=Ekkehard|title=Butenes|year=2014|doi=10.1002/14356007.a04_483.pub3}}
