A skeletal isomer of a compound is a structural isomer that differs from it in the atoms and bonds that are considered to comprise the "skeleton" of the molecule. For organic compounds, such as alkanes, that usually means the carbon atoms and the bonds between them.
Isobutyric acid (2-methylpropanoic acid) is an isomer. Salts and esters of butyric acid are known as butyrates or butanoates. The acid does not occur widely in nature, but its esters are widespread. It is a common industrial chemical [7] and an important component in the mammalian gut.
In chemistry, isomerization or isomerisation is the process in which a molecule, polyatomic ion or molecular fragment is transformed into an isomer with a different chemical structure. [1] Enolization is an example of isomerization, as is tautomerization. [2] When the isomerization occurs intramolecularly it may be called a rearrangement reaction.
Ethyl acetate (systematically ethyl ethanoate, commonly abbreviated EtOAc, ETAC or EA) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 CO 2 CH 2 CH 3, simplified to C 4 H 8 O 2.This flammable, colorless liquid has a characteristic sweet smell (similar to pear drops) and is used in glues, nail polish removers, and the decaffeination process of tea and coffee.
The isomers which have been cited as examples of metamers in chemical literature consist primarily of ethers; [3] but this could by the same reasoning be extended to thioethers, secondary as well as tertiary amines, esters, secondary as well as tertiary amides, (mixed) acid anhydrides etc. Metamers in organic chemistry
The English word "isomer" (/ ˈ aɪ s əm ər /) is a back-formation from "isomeric", [2] which was borrowed through German isomerisch [3] from Swedish isomerisk; which in turn was coined from Greek ἰσόμερoς isómeros, with roots isos = "equal", méros = "part". [4] Two broad types of isomers
