Cumene is the common name for
isopropylbenzene, an
organic compound that's an
aromatic hydrocarbon. It is a constituent of crude oil and refined fuels. It is a flammable colorless liquid that has a boiling point of 152 °C. Nearly all the cumene that's produced as a pure compound on an industrial scale is converted to
cumene hydroperoxide, which is an intermediate in the synthesis of other industrially important chemicals such as
phenol and
acetone.
Production
Commercial production of cumene is carried out through the
catalytic alkylation of
benzene, with the addition of
propylene. Solid
phosphoric acid (SPA) supported on
alumina can also be used as a catalyst, and this was the case prior to the mid-1990s when
zeolite-based catalysts made the other technique commercially redundant.
