The optical center is the middle carbon of the pentane backbone, which is connected to one hydrogen atom, one methyl group, one ethyl group – C 2 H 5, and one isopropyl group – CH(CH 3) 2. The two enantiomers are denoted (3R)-2,3-dimethylpentane and (3S)-2,3-dimethylpentane (the other simplest chiral alkane is its structural isomer 3 ...
In 1929 Graham Edgar and George Calingaert made 2,2-dimethylpentane and measured its physical characteristics for the first time. The measurements were at 20 °C, not the standard conditions used in later times. [8] For 2,2-dimethylpentane they measured a density of 0.6737 at 20 °C with a rate of change Δd/ΔT of 0.000855.
A method to produce 3,3-dimethylpentane is to react tert-amyl chloride (CH 3 CH 2 (CH 3)C 2 Cl) with propionaldehyde producing 3,3-dimethylpentan-2-ol. This is then dehydrated to produce 3,3-dimethylpent-2-ene, which when hydrogenated produces some 3,3-dimethylpentane, but also 2,3-dimethylpentane. [2]
1,2,3,4,5-Pentakis(4-butylphenyl)-1,3-cyclopentadiene is an organochemical compound from the diene group and a cyclopentadiene derivative. The anion of this compound is used as a sterically demanding ligand, often abbreviated as Cp [BIG] , in the organometallic chemistry of sandwich compounds .
The mechanism is therefore a concerted [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement which according to the Woodward–Hoffmann rules show a concerted, suprafacial, pericyclic reaction pathway. See also [ edit ]
2,3-Dimethyl-1-butene is an organic compound with the formula CH 2 =C(CH 3)CH(CH 3) 2. Like the other isomers of dimethylbutene, it is a colorless liquid. Together with 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene it can be produced by dimerization of propylene. It is a precursor to the commercial fragrance tonalide. [1]
2,4-Dimethylpentane is an alkane with the chemical formula [(H 3 C) 2 CH] 2 CH 2. This colorless hydrocarbon is produced in large quantities in oil refineries. It results from the alkylation of isobutane by propylene. [1] Often referred to as "alkylate", it is blended with other gasoline components to give a high octane fuel.
3-Methyl-3-penten-2-one is an unsaturated aliphatic ketone. It is an isomer of mesityl oxide and isomesityl oxide. It is a precursor of 3-methyl-2-pentanone (methyl sec-butyl ketone) and is obtained by acid-catalyzed dehydration of 4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-pentanone. It is used as an intermediate in organic chemistry syntheses. [1]
