  2. Methyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_group

    In organic chemistry, a methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, having chemical formula CH 3 (whereas normal methane has the formula CH 4). In formulas, the group is often abbreviated as Me. This hydrocarbon group occurs in many organic compounds. It is a very stable group in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone

    Acetone (2-propanone or dimethyl ketone) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 CO. [22] It is the simplest and smallest ketone ( >C=O ). It is a colorless, highly volatile , and flammable liquid with a characteristic pungent odour, very reminiscent of the smell of pear drops .

  4. Methyl radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_radical

    Methyl radical is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH • 3 (also written as [CH 3] •). It is a metastable colourless gas, which is mainly produced in situ as a precursor to other hydrocarbons in the petroleum cracking industry. It can act as either a strong oxidant or a strong reductant, and is quite corrosive to metals.

  5. Acetylacetone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylacetone

    The enzyme acetylacetone dioxygenase cleaves a central carbon-carbon bond of acetylacetone, producing acetate and 2-oxopropanal. The enzyme is iron(II)-dependent, but it has been proven to bind to zinc as well. Acetylacetone degradation has been characterized in the bacterium Acinetobacter johnsonii.

  6. Isobutylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobutylene

    Isobutylene (or 2-methylpropene) is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula (CH 3) 2 C=CH 2. It is a four-carbon branched alkene (olefin), one of the four isomers of butylene . It is a colorless flammable gas, and is of considerable industrial value.

  7. Lithium diisopropylamide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_diisopropylamide

    Lithium diisopropylamide (commonly abbreviated LDA) is a chemical compound with the molecular formula LiN(CH(CH 3) 2) 2. It is used as a strong base and has been widely utilized due to its good solubility in non-polar organic solvents and non-nucleophilic nature. It is a colorless solid, but is usually generated and observed only in solution.

  8. Isopropyl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl_chloride

    Isopropyl chloride is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH 3) 2 CHCl. It is a colourless to slightly yellow, volatile, flammable liquid with a sweet, ether-like (almost like petroleum) odour. It is used as an industrial solvent. It is produced industrially by the addition of HCl to propylene: [1] CH 3 CH=CH 2 + HCl → (CH 3) 2 CHCl
