[edit] Old chembox
I've put this here to keep the article readable. I've transferred most of the information to the new infobox, but some data (e.g. thermochemistry) should live in a separate data page.

[edit] catalyst of C2H4 + HCl
According to my chemistry teacher you don't need the AlCl3 as a catalyst for this reaction; it is just used as a catalyst for an intermediate step for producing styrene -- C2H4 should react at r.t.p, no catalyst, by bubbling it through a solution of HCl. --Katrielalex 10:46, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
