3) 2 (C 2 H 5). Isopentane is a volatile and flammable liquid. It is one of three structural isomers with the molecular formula C 5 H 12, the others being pentane (n-pentane) and neopentane (2,2-dimethylpropane). Isopentane is commonly used in conjunction with liquid nitrogen to achieve a liquid bath temperature of −160 °C.
[2] [5] The compound is used as a reactant in the synthesis of a number of compounds. Notably it is used to synthesize 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene, and is then converted to 2,3-dimethylbutane-2,3-diol and methyl tert-butyl ketone, better known as pinacolone. Pinacolone itself is then used in synthesis for number of pesticides.
2-Methyl-2-butene, 2m2b, 2-methylbut-2-ene, beta-isoamylene, or Trimmethylethylene is an alkene hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C 5 H 10. Used as a free radical scavenger in trichloromethane (chloroform) and dichloromethane (methylene chloride). It is also used to scavenge hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in the Pinnick oxidation.
2-Bromopentane [1] (chiral) 3-Bromopentane; There are four isomers of monobromopentane based on 2-methylbutane: 1-Bromo-2-methylbutane (chiral) 1-Bromo-3-methylbutane; 2-Bromo-2-methylbutane; 2-Bromo-3-methylbutane (chiral) 2,2-Dimethylpropane has only one monobrominated derivative, 1-bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane, also known as neopentyl bromide.

Isobutane, also known as i-butane, 2-methylpropane or methylpropane, is a chemical compound with molecular formula HC(CH 3) 3. It is an isomer of butane. Isobutane is a colorless, odorless gas. It is the simplest alkane with a tertiary carbon atom.
For example, (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 CH 3 (isopentane) is named 2-methylbutane, not 3-methylbutane. If there are multiple side-branches of the same size alkyl group, their positions are separated by commas and the group prefixed with multiplier prefixes depending on the number of branches.
tert-Butyl bromide (also referred to as 2-bromo-2-methylpropane) is an organic compound with the formula Me 3 CBr (Me = methyl). The molecule features a tert-butyl group attached to a bromide substituent. This organobromine compound is used as a standard reagent in synthetic organic chemistry. It is a colorless liquid.
2-Methyl-1-butanol (IUPAC name, also called active amyl alcohol) is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CH(CH 3)CH 2 OH. It is one of several isomers of amyl alcohol.This colorless liquid occurs naturally in trace amounts and has attracted some attention as a potential biofuel, exploiting its hydrophobic (gasoline-like) and branched structure.
