  2. Cis–trans isomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis–trans_isomerism

    These differences can be very small, as in the case of the boiling point of straight-chain alkenes, such as pent-2-ene, which is 37 °C in the cis isomer and 36 °C in the trans isomer. [5] The differences between cis and trans isomers can be larger if polar bonds are present, as in the 1,2-dichloroethenes .

  3. 2-Bromobutane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Bromobutane

    2-Bromobutane is an isomer of 1-bromobutane. Both compounds share the molecular formula C 4 H 9 Br. 2-Bromobutane is also known as sec-butyl bromide or methylethylbromomethane. Because it contains bromine, a halogen, it is part of a larger class of compounds known as alkyl halides. It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant odor.

  4. Isomerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomerization

    In chemistry, isomerization or isomerisation is the process in which a molecule, polyatomic ion or molecular fragment is transformed into an isomer with a different chemical structure. [1] Enolization is an example of isomerization, as is tautomerization. [2] When the isomerization occurs intramolecularly it may be called a rearrangement reaction.

  5. Isomerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomerase

    For example, 2-butene exists in two isomeric forms: cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene. [2] The sub-categories of isomerases containing racemases, epimerases and cis-trans isomers are examples of enzymes catalyzing the interconversion of stereoisomers.

  6. But-2-ene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/But-2-ene

    But-2-ene is an acyclic alkene with four carbon atoms. It is the simplest alkene exhibiting cis/trans-isomerism (also known as (E/Z)-isomerism); that is, it exists as two geometric isomers cis-but-2-ene ((Z)-but-2-ene) and trans-but-2-ene ((E)-but-2-ene). It is a petrochemical, produced by the catalytic cracking of crude oil or the dimerization ...

  7. Thermodynamic versus kinetic reaction control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_versus...

    The electrophilic addition reaction of hydrogen bromide to 1,3-butadiene above room temperature leads predominantly to the thermodynamically more stable 1,4 adduct, 1-bromo-2-butene, but decreasing the reaction temperature to below room temperature favours the kinetic 1,2 adduct, 3-bromo-1-butene. [3] The addition of HBr to butadiene in ether.

  8. 1-Bromobutane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Bromobutane

    2 Li + C 4 H 9 X → C 4 H 9 Li + LiX where X = Cl, Br. The lithium for this reaction contains 1-3% sodium. When bromobutane is the precursor, the product is a homogeneous solution, consisting of a mixed cluster containing both LiBr and LiBu. 1-Fluorobutane can be obtained by reacting 1-bromobutane with potassium fluoride in ethylene glycol. [5]

  9. Enone–alkene cycloadditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enone–alkene_cycloadditions

    In organic chemistry, enone–alkene cycloadditions are a version of the [2+2] cycloaddition. This reaction involves an enone and alkene as substrates. Although the concerted photochemical [2+2] cycloaddition is allowed, the reaction between enones and alkenes is stepwise and involves discrete diradical intermediates. [1]
