The branching in 2-ethyl-1-butanol makes it harder to crystallize due to packing disruption, which results in a very low freezing point. Esters of 2-ethyl-1-butanol are similarly effected and it therefore finds application as a feedstock in the production of plasticizers and lubricants, where its presence helps reduce viscosity and lower freezing points.
A variety of amines and nitrogen heterocycles are useful bases of moderate strength (pK a of conjugate acid around 10-13) N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA, also called Hünig's Base [1]), pK a = 10.75; 1,8-Diazabicycloundec-7-ene (DBU) - useful for E2 elimination reactions, pK a = 13.5; 1,5-Diazabicyclo(4.3.0)non-5-ene (DBN) - comparable to DBU
Simple cis and trans isomers may be indicated with a prefixed cis-or trans-: cis-but-2-ene, trans-but-2-ene. However, cis-and trans-are relative descriptors. It is IUPAC convention to describe all alkenes using absolute descriptors of Z-(same side) and E-(opposite) with the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rules (see also E–Z notation).
2 – CH=CH –H (3-butenoic). All have the chemical formula C 3 H 5 COOH or C 4 H 6 O 2. These compounds are technically mono-unsaturated fatty acids, although some authors may exclude them for being too short. The three isomers are: crotonic acid (trans-2-butenoic or (2E)-but-2-enoic acid) isocrotonic acid (cis-2-butenoic or (2Z)-but-2-enoic ...
Morpholine is an organic chemical compound having the chemical formula O(C H 2 CH 2) 2 NH. This heterocycle features both amine and ether functional groups. Because of the amine, morpholine is a base; its conjugate acid is called morpholinium. For example, treating morpholine with hydrochloric acid generates the salt morpholinium chloride.
Crotonic acid ((2E)-but-2-enoic acid) is a short-chain unsaturated carboxylic acid described by the formula CH 3 CH=CHCO 2 H. The name crotonic acid was given because it was erroneously thought to be a saponification product of croton oil. [2] It crystallizes as colorless needles from hot water. With a cis-alkene, Isocrotonic acid is an isomer ...
[1] [2] Enamines are versatile intermediates. [3] [4] Condensation to give an enamine. [5] The word "enamine" is derived from the affix en-, used as the suffix of alkene, and the root amine. This can be compared with enol, which is a functional group containing both alkene (en-) and alcohol (-ol). Enamines are considered to be nitrogen analogs ...
1-Butene (IUPAC name: But-1-ene, also known as 1-butylene) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CH=CH 2. It is a colorless gas. But-1-ene is an alkene easily condensed to give a colorless liquid. It is classified as a linear alpha-olefin (terminal alkene). [2] It is one of the isomers of butene (butylene). It is a precursor to ...
