Chemical compound
Propylene, also known as propene, is an unsaturated organic compound with the chemical formula CH3CH=CH2. It has one double bond, and is the second simplest member of the alkene class of hydrocarbons. It is a colorless gas with a faint petroleum-like odor.[3]
Propylene is a product of combustion from forest fires, cigarette smoke, and motor vehicle and aircraft exhaust.[4] It was discovered in 1850 by A. W. von Hoffman's student Captain (later Major General[5]) John Williams Reynolds as the only gaseous product of thermal decomposition of amyl alcohol to react with chlorine and bromine.[6]
