Methylpentene is an alkene with a molecular formula C 6 H 12.The prefix "methyl-" is derived from the fact that there is a methyl(CH 3) branch, the word root "-pent-" is derived from the fact that there are 5 carbon atoms in the parent chain, while the "-ene" suffix denotes that there is a double bond present, as per IUPAC nomenclature. [1]
Most often, 1-pentene is made as a byproduct of catalytic or thermal cracking of petroleum or during the production of ethylene and propylene via thermal cracking of hydrocarbon fractions. As of 2010s, the only commercial manufacturer of 1-pentene was Sasol Ltd., where it is separated from crude by the Fischer-Tropsch process. [2]
Piperylene or 1,3-pentadiene is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 −CH=CH−CH=CH 2. It is a volatile , flammable hydrocarbon . It is one of the five positional isomers of pentadiene .
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]
3-Methyl-3-pentanol (IUPAC name: 3-methylpentan-3-ol) is an organic chemical compound and a tertiary hexanol. It is used in the synthesis of the tranquilizer emylcamate , [ 2 ] and has similar sedative and anticonvulsant actions itself.
A 3D model of ethylene, the simplest alkene. In organic chemistry, an alkene, or olefin, is a hydrocarbon containing a carbon–carbon double bond. [1] The double bond may be internal or in the terminal position.
3-Methylpentane is a branched alkane with the molecular formula C 6 H 14. It is a structural isomer of hexane composed of a methyl group bonded to the third carbon atom in a pentane chain. It is of similar structure to the isomeric 2-methylpentane , which has the methyl group located on the second carbon of the pentane chain.
Methylene-interrupted polyenes are 1,4-pentadiene groups found in polyunsaturated fatty acids linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, and arachidonic acid.These pentadiene derivatives are susceptible to lipid peroxidation, far moreso than monounsaturated or saturated fatty acids.
