  2. 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.

  3. 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 .

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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.

  6. 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]

  7. 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.

  8. E–Z notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E–Z_notation

    Alitretinoin. For organic molecules with multiple double bonds, it is sometimes necessary to indicate the alkene location for each E or Z symbol. For example, the chemical name of alitretinoin is (2E,4E,6Z,8E)-3,7-dimethyl-9-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexenyl)nona-2,4,6,8-tetraenoic acid, indicating that the alkenes starting at positions 2, 4, and 8 are E while the one starting at position 6 is Z.

    [2] [3] [4] The ring-flip of substituted cyclohexanes constitutes a common form of conformers. [5] The study of the energetics of bond rotation is referred to as conformational analysis. [6] In some cases, conformational analysis can be used to predict and explain product selectivity, mechanisms, and rates of reactions. [7]
