Isoprene, or 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, is a common volatile organic compound with the formula CH 2 =C(CH 3)−CH=CH 2. In its pure form it is a colorless volatile liquid. It is produced by many plants and animals [1] (including humans) and its polymers are the main component of natural rubber.
Dimethylbutadiene, formally referred to as 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 C 4 H 4. It is colorless liquid which served an important role in the early history of synthetic rubber. It is now a specialty reagent.
Some dienes: A: 1,2-Propadiene, also known as allene, is the simplest cumulated diene. B: Isoprene, also known as 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, the precursor to natural rubber. C: 1,3-Butadiene, a precursor to synthetic polymers. D: 1,5-Cyclooctadiene, an unconjugated diene (notice that each double bond is two carbons away from the other). E ...
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]
That implies a stabilization energy of 3.5 kcal/mol. [25] Similarly, the hydrogenation of the terminal double bond of 1,4-pentadiene releases 30.1 kcal/mol of heat, while hydrogenation of the terminal double bond of conjugated (E)-1,3-pentadiene releases only 26.5 kcal/mol, implying a very similar value of 3.6 kcal/mol for the stabilization ...
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.
It can be prepared by base-catalyzed isomerization of 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene. [2] Another route involves direct dimerization of propylene. [3] It can also be produced by photolysis of tetramethylcyclobutane-1,3-dione. [4]
[3] Another method of production involves the isomerization of 3-methylbut-3-en-1-ol using CuO–ZnO as a catalyst. A mixture of 3-methylbut-3-en-1-ol and 3-methylbut-2-en-1-ol may also be used. These starting materials are obtained from a reaction between isobutene and formaldehyde: [3] CH 3 CH 3 CCH 2 + CH 2 O → (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 CHO
