As of 2010s, the only commercial manufacturer of 1-pentene was Sasol Ltd., where it is separated from crude by the Fischer-Tropsch process. [2] 2-Pentene has two geometric isomers: cis-2-pentene and trans-2-pentene. Cis-2-Pentene is used in olefin metathesis.
The following is a list of straight-chain alkanes, the total number of isomers of each (including branched chains), and their common names, sorted by number of carbon atoms. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Number of C atoms
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)
Most alkenes are also isomers of cycloalkanes. Acyclic alkene structural isomers with only one double bond follow: [6] C 2 H 4: ethylene only; C 3 H 6: propylene only; C 4 H 8: 3 isomers: 1-butene, 2-butene, and isobutylene; C 5 H 10: 5 isomers: 1-pentene, 2-pentene, 2-methyl-1-butene, 3-methyl-1-butene, 2-methyl-2-butene
Very often, cis–trans stereoisomers contain double bonds or ring structures. In both cases the rotation of bonds is restricted or prevented. [4] When the substituent groups are oriented in the same direction, the diastereomer is referred to as cis, whereas when the substituents are oriented in opposing directions, the diastereomer is referred to as trans.
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 ...
