4/10/2012 - Synthesis of Ethylene
A very simple organic compound named ethylene, C2H4 was first synthesized by the ancient alchemist named Johann Becher. This compound of two carbons, containing a double bond was first synthesized by a process called ethanol dehydration where absolute ethanol is passed over a concentrated solution of sulfuric acid in the reaction C2H5OH + H2SO4 → C2H4 + H2O +HSO4. This compound later was introduced in 1922 as an anesthetic by Dr. Lockhardt, and is used today for hundreds of other purposes.
