  2. Pentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentane

    Pentane is an organic compound with the formula C 5 H 12 —that is, an alkane with five carbon atoms. The term may refer to any of three structural isomers, or to a mixture of them: in the IUPAC nomenclature, however, pentane means exclusively the n-pentane isomer, in which case pentanes refers to a mixture of them; the other two are called isopentane (methylbutane) and neopentane ...

  3. Alkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkane

    However, the chain of carbon atoms may also be branched at one or more points. The number of possible isomers increases rapidly with the number of carbon atoms. For example, for acyclic alkanes: [3] C 1: methane only; C 2: ethane only; C 3: propane only; C 4: 2 isomers: butane and isobutane; C 5: 3 isomers: pentane, isopentane, and neopentane

  4. Isomerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomerization

    The compound with the formula (C 5 H 5) 2 Fe 2 (CO) 4 exists as three isomers in solution. In one isomer the CO ligands are terminal. When a pair of CO are bridging, cis and trans isomers are possible depending on the location of the C 5 H 5 groups. [7] Another example in organometallic chemistry is the linkage isomerization of ...

  5. C5H8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C5H8

    Constitution formula for isomers of C 5 H 8 with CAS numbers. The molecular formula C 5 H 8 may refer to any of the following hydrocarbons: Pentynes: 1-Pentyne; 2-Pentyne; 3-Methyl-1-butyne or isopentyne, CAS 598-23-2; Pentadienes: 1,2-Pentadiene, two cis-trans isomers, CAS 591-95-7; 1,3 Pentadiene, CAS 504-60-9 (racemic mixture)

  6. Structural isomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_isomer

    Once a substitution is made on a parent molecule, its structural symmetry is usually reduced, meaning that atoms that were formerly equivalent may no longer be so. Thus substitution of two or more equivalent atoms by the same element may generate more than one positional isomer. The classical example is the derivatives of benzene. Its six ...

  7. Isopentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopentane

    Isopentane is a major component (sometimes 30% or more) of natural gasoline, an analog of common petroleum-derived gasoline that is condensed from natural gas. [4] Its share in commercial car fuel is highly variable: 19–45% in 1990s Sweden, [ 13 ] 4–31% in 1990s US [ 14 ] and 3.6–11% in the US in 2011. [ 15 ]

  8. Gauche effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauche_effect

    The gauche effect is very sensitive to solvent effects, due to the large difference in polarity between the two conformers.For example, 2,3-dinitro-2,3-dimethylbutane, which in the solid state exists only in the gauche conformation, prefers the gauche conformer in benzene solution by a ratio of 79:21, but in carbon tetrachloride, it prefers the anti conformer by a ratio of 58:42. [9]

  9. Bromopentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromopentane

    Bromopentanes are a group of bromoalkanes consisting of pentane isomers with one or more hydrogen atoms replaced by bromine atoms. They have the formula C 5 H 12–n Br n, where n = 1–12 is the number of bromine atoms. They are colorless liquids.
