Description

Dicyclopentadiene, abbreviated DCPD, is a chemical compound with formula C10H12. At room temperature, it is a white crystalline solid with a camphor-like odor. Its energy density is 10,975 Wh/l. Dicyclopentadiene is coproduced in large quantities in the steam cracking of naphtha and gas oils to ethylene. The major use is in resins, particularly, unsaturated polyester resins. It is also used in inks, adhesives, and paints.

Most dicyclopentadiene is used as co-monomer in the production of synthetic resins, in particular unsaturated polyesters and synthetic rubbers, for example EPDM. Poly (DCPD), which contains some dicyclopentadiene as monomer is used in printing inks and engineering plastics.

Precursor to Cyclopentadiene

Typical Procedure:The reaction apparatus is assembled by attaching a thermometer, Vigreaux distilling column and Liebig condenser to a 500 mL two necked flask. The receiver is cooled by means of refrigerants or freezing mixtures. Dicyclopentadiene (195 g) is placed in the two necked flask and heated to about 160 ℃ with an electric heating mantle or oil bath. Thermal decomposition begins at about 150 ℃ and distillates at 38~46 ℃ can be obtained (addition of iron powder expedites the thermal decomposition rate of cyclopentadiene). Heating is applied slowly, because rapid temperature increases cause dicyclopentadiene to distill prior to undergoing thermal decomposition. In such a case, re-distillation allows narrow boiling-point distillates. Cyclopentadiene dimerzes rapidly at room temperature and should be used immediately.
