In organic chemistry, a methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, having chemical formula CH 3 (whereas normal methane has the formula CH 4). In formulas, the group is often abbreviated as Me. This hydrocarbon group occurs in many organic compounds. It is a very stable group in ...
In organic chemistry, methenium (also called methylium, carbenium, [2] methyl cation, or protonated methylene) is a cation with the formula CH + 3. It can be viewed as a methylene radical (: CH 2) with an added proton (H +), or as a methyl radical (• CH 3) with one electron removed.
Methyl radical is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH • 3 (also written as [CH 3] •). It is a metastable colourless gas, which is mainly produced in situ as a precursor to other hydrocarbons in the petroleum cracking industry. It can act as either a strong oxidant or a strong reductant, and is quite corrosive to metals.
Trimethylamine (TMA) is an organic compound with the formula N(CH 3) 3. It is a trimethylated derivative of ammonia. TMA is widely used in industry. [5] [6] At higher concentrations it has an ammonia-like odor, and can cause necrosis of mucous membranes on contact. [7] At lower concentrations, it has a "fishy" odor, the odor associated with ...
Dimethyl ether (DME; also known as methoxymethane) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 OCH 3, (sometimes ambiguously simplified to C 2 H 6 O as it is an isomer of ethanol). The simplest ether , it is a colorless gas that is a useful precursor to other organic compounds and an aerosol propellant that is currently being demonstrated for ...
tert-Butyl alcohol is the simplest tertiary alcohol, with a formula of (CH 3) 3 COH (sometimes represented as t-BuOH). Its isomers are 1-butanol, isobutanol, and butan-2-ol. tert-Butyl alcohol is a colorless solid, which melts near room temperature and has a camphor-like odor. It is miscible with water, ethanol and diethyl ether.
Butyraldehyde, also known as butanal, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 2 CHO. This compound is the aldehyde derivative of butane. It is a colorless flammable liquid with an unpleasant smell. It is miscible with most organic solvents.
In chemistry, methanium is a complex positive ion with formula [C H 5] + (metastable transitional form, a carbon atom covalently bonded to five hydrogen atoms) or [CH 3 (H 2)] + (fluxional form, namely a molecule with one carbon atom covalently bonded to three hydrogen atoms and one dihydrogen molecule), bearing a +1 electric charge.
