Propadiene (/proʊpəˈdaɪiːn/) or allene (/ˈæliːn/) is the organic compound with the formula H2C=C=CH2. It is the simplest allene, i.e. a compound with two adjacent carbon double bonds.[3] As a constituent of MAPP gas, it has been used as a fuel for specialized welding.

Production and equilibrium with methylacetylene[edit]

Allene exists in equilibrium with methylacetylene (propyne) and the mixture is sometimes called MAPD for methylacetylene-propadiene:

H3CC≡CH ⇌ H2C=C=CH2

for which Keq = 0.22 at 270 °C or 0.1 at 5 °C.

MAPD is produced as a side product, often an undesirable one, of dehydrogenation of propane to produce propene, an important feedstock in the chemical industry. MAPD interferes with the catalytic polymerization of propene.[4]
