The preferred IUPAC name is the systematic name 2,2-dimethylpropane, but the substituent numbers are superfluous because it is the only possible “dimethylpropane”. A neopentyl group attached to a generic group R. A neopentyl substituent, often symbolized by "Np", has the structure Me 3 C–CH 2 – for instance neopentyl alcohol (Me 3 CCH 2 OH
Neopentyl glycol (IUPAC name: 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol) is an organic chemical compound. It is used in the synthesis of polyesters , paints , lubricants , and plasticizers . When used in the manufacture of polyesters, it enhances the stability of the product towards heat, light, and water.
or neopentyl alcohol primary 2,2-Dimethylpropan-1-ol: 113.1 2-pentanol or sec-amyl alcohol or methyl (n) propyl carbinol secondary Pentan-2-ol: 118.8 3-methyl-2-butanol or sec-isoamyl alcohol or methyl isopropyl carbinol secondary 3-Methylbutan-2-ol: 113.6 3-Pentanol secondary Pentan-3-ol: 115.3 2-methyl-2-butanol or tert-amyl alcohol tertiary ...
For example, (CH 3) 2 CHCH 3, commonly known as isobutane, is treated as a propane chain with a methyl group bonded to the middle (2) carbon, and given the systematic name 2-methylpropane. However, although the name 2-methylpropane could be used, it is easier and more logical to call it simply methylpropane – the methyl group could not ...
Neopentyl alcohol can be prepared from the hydroperoxide of diisobutylene. [3] It can also be prepared by the reduction of trimethylacetic acid with lithium aluminium hydride . Neopentyl alcohol was the first described in 1891 by L. Tissier, who prepared it by reduction of a mixture of trimethyl acetic acid and trimethylacetyl chloride with ...
IUPAC nomenclature is used for the naming of chemical compounds, based on their chemical composition and their structure. [1] For example, one can deduce that 1-chloropropane has a Chlorine atom on the first carbon in the 3-carbon propane chain.
3 COOH, which is commonly called acetic acid and is also its recommended IUPAC name, but its formal, systematic IUPAC name is ethanoic acid. The IUPAC's rules for naming organic and inorganic compounds are contained in two publications, known as the Blue Book [1] [2] and the Red Book, [3] respectively.
Due to steric hindrance of the adjacent neopentyl-like moiety, PETN is resistant to attack by many chemical reagents; it does not hydrolyze in water at room temperature or in weaker alkaline aqueous solutions. Water at 100 °C or above causes hydrolysis to dinitrate; presence of 0.1% nitric acid accelerates the reaction.
