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 ...
Number of isomers including stereoisomers [3] [5] Molecular Formula Name of straight chain Synonyms 1 1 1 CH 4: methane: methyl hydride; natural gas 2 1 1 C 2 H 6: ethane: dimethyl; ethyl hydride; methyl methane 3 1 1 C 3 H 8: propane: dimethyl methane; propyl hydride 4 2 2 C 4 H 10: n-butane: butyl hydride; methylethyl methane 5 3 3 C 5 H 12 ...
The number of possible isomers increases rapidly with the number of carbon atoms. For example, for acyclic alkanes: [3] C 1: methane only; C 2: ethane only; C 3: propane only; C 4: 2 isomers: butane and isobutane; C 5: 3 isomers: pentane, isopentane, and neopentane; C 6: 5 isomers: hexane, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane ...
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
[5] [6] Examples of the latter are the enantiomers, whose molecules are mirror images of each other, and the cis and trans versions of 2-butene. Among the structural isomers, one can distinguish several classes including skeletal isomers, positional isomers (or regioisomers), functional isomers, tautomers, [7] and structural isotopomers. [8]
In 1 H NMR spectroscopy, the hydrogen bonded to the carbon adjacent to double bonds will give a δ H of 4.5–6.5 ppm. The double bond will also deshield the hydrogen attached to the carbons adjacent to sp 2 carbons, and this generates δ H =1.6–2. ppm peaks. [14] Cis/trans isomers are distinguishable due to different J-coupling effect.
Bromopentanes are a group of bromoalkanes consisting of pentane isomers with one or more hydrogen atoms replaced by bromine atoms. They have the formula C 5 H 12–n Br n, where n = 1–12 is the number of bromine atoms. They are colorless liquids.
The boiling point of neopentane is only 9.5 °C, significantly lower than those of isopentane (27.7 °C) and normal pentane (36.0 °C). Therefore, neopentane is a gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, while the other two isomers are (barely) liquids.
