tert-Amyl chloride (2-methyl-2-butyl chloride) is an alkyl chloride used for flavoring and odorizing. [2] At room temperature, it is a colorless liquid with an unpleasant odor. It is an isomer of 1-chloropentane ( n -amyl chloride).
The molecular formula C 5 H 11 Cl (molar mass: 106.59 g/mol, exact mass: 106.0549 u) may refer to: tert-Amyl chloride (2-methyl-2-butyl chloride) 1-Chloropentane
Amyl chloride may refer to any of the monochlorinated derivatives of the isomers of pentane. They have the molecular formula C 5 H 11 Cl. tert-Amyl chloride; 1 ...
In chemistry, the molar mass (M) (sometimes called molecular weight or formula weight, but see related quantities for usage) of a chemical compound is defined as the ratio between the mass and the amount of substance (measured in moles) of any sample of the compound. [1] The molar mass is a bulk, not molecular, property of a substance.
A cyclopentyl group is a ring with the formula -C 5 H 9. The name is also used for the pentyl radical, a pentyl group as an isolated molecule. This free radical is only observed in extreme conditions. [1] Its formula is often written "C 5 H 11 •" or "• C 5 H 11" to indicate that it has one unsatisfied valence bond.
A method to produce 3,3-dimethylpentane is to react tert-amyl chloride (CH 3 CH 2 (CH 3)C 2 Cl) with propionaldehyde producing 3,3-dimethylpentan-2-ol. This is then dehydrated to produce 3,3-dimethylpent-2-ene, which when hydrogenated produces some 3,3-dimethylpentane, but also 2,3-dimethylpentane. [2]
tert-Butyl chloride is the organochloride with the formula (CH 3) 3 CCl. It is a colorless, flammable liquid. It is sparingly soluble in water, with a tendency to undergo hydrolysis to the corresponding tert-butyl alcohol. It is produced industrially as a precursor to other organic compounds. [1]
tert-Amyl alcohol (TAA) or 2-methylbutan-2-ol (2M2B), is a branched pentanol. Historically, TAA has been used as an anesthetic [3] and more recently as a recreational drug. [4] TAA is mostly a positive allosteric modulator for GABA A receptors in the same way as ethanol. [5] The psychotropic effects of TAA and ethanol are similar, though distinct.
