Isobutylene (or 2-methylpropene) is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula (CH 3) 2 C=CH 2. It is a four-carbon branched alkene (olefin), one of the four isomers of butylene . It is a colorless flammable gas, and is of considerable industrial value.
Isobutane, also known as i-butane, 2-methylpropane or methylpropane, is a chemical compound with molecular formula HC(CH 3) 3. It is an isomer of butane . Isobutane is a colorless, odorless gas.
Isobutanol (IUPAC nomenclature: 2-methylpropan-1-ol) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 OH (sometimes represented as i-BuOH).This colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic smell is mainly used as a solvent either directly or as its esters.
Aminomethyl propanol is used for the preparation of buffer solutions. [3] It is a component of the drugs ambuphylline and pamabrom. It is also used in cosmetics. [2] It is a precursor to oxazolines via its reaction with acyl chlorides. [5] Via sulfation of the alcohol, the compound is also a precursor to 2,2-dimethylaziridine. [6]
Isoprenol is produced by the reaction between isobutene (2-methylpropene) and formaldehyde, in what is arguably the simplest example of the Prins reaction. The reaction of isobutene with formaldehyde to give isoprenol, the first step in the industrial manufacture of prenol.
The Koch reaction is an organic reaction for the synthesis of tertiary carboxylic acids from alcohols or alkenes and carbon monoxide.Some commonly industrially produced Koch acids include pivalic acid, 2,2-dimethylbutyric acid and 2,2-dimethylpentanoic acid. [1]
MeO 2 CCH 2 CH 3 + CH 2 O → MeO 2 CCH(CH 2 OH)CH 3 MeO 2 CCH(CH 2 OH)CH 3 → MeO 2 CC(=CH 2)CH 3. Methyl propionate is used as a solvent for cellulose nitrate and lacquers, and as a raw material for the production of paints, varnishes and other chemicals such as methyl methacrylate. [2] [3] Due to its fruity smell and taste, it is also used ...
In the context of butanol fuel, isobutyraldehyde is of interest as a precursor to isobutanol. E. coli as well as several other organisms has been genetically modified to produce isobutanol. α-Ketoisovalerate, derived from oxidative deamination of valine, is prone to decarboxylation to give isobutyraldehyde, which is susceptible to reduction to the alcohol: [3]
