About this document

1-MCP Synthesis and Ethylene Treatment by goblin0007007 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is a cyclic hydrocarbon that inhibits ethylene action in plants, synthesized through a two-step process involving phenyl lithium and methallyl chloride. The treatment procedure for 1-MCP involves mixing it with distilled water in a sealed container for 24 hours. Ethylene, a plant hormone promoting ripening, is produced by heating ethanol with MgO, and its treatment lasts for 24 hours as well.
