Butane (/ ˈ b juː t eɪ n /) is an alkane with the formula C 4 H 10. Butane exists as two isomers, n -butane with connectivity CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 and iso-butane with the formula (CH 3 ) 3 CH . Both isomers are highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gases that quickly vaporize at room temperature and pressure.
Isobutane, also known as i-butane, 2-methylpropane or methylpropane, is a chemical compound with molecular formula HC(CH 3) 3. It is an isomer of butane. Isobutane is a colorless, odorless gas. It is the simplest alkane with a tertiary carbon atom.
The following is a list of straight-chain alkanes, the total number of isomers of each ... C 4 H 10: n-butane: butyl hydride; methylethyl methane 5 3 3 C 5 H 12: n ...
The isomer n-butane can connect in two ways, giving rise to two "-butyl" groups: If it connects at one of the two terminal carbon atoms, it is normal butyl or n-butyl: −CH 2 −CH 2 −CH 2 −CH 3 (preferred IUPAC name: butyl) If it connects at one of the non-terminal (internal) carbon atoms, it is secondary butyl or sec-butyl: −CH(CH 3 ...
sec-Butylamine is one of the four isomeric amines of butane, the others being n-butylamine, tert-butylamine, and isobutylamine. sec-Butylamine is chiral and therefore can exist in either of two enantiomeric forms. sec-Butylamine is used in the production of some pesticides. [2] Bromacil, a commercial herbicide, is produced from sec-butylamine. [3]
Discounting isomers that are equivalent under rotations, there are nine isomers that differ by this criterion, and behave as different stable substances (two of them being enantiomers of each other). The most common one in nature ( myo -inositol) has the hydroxyls on carbons 1, 2, 3 and 5 on the same side of that plane, and can therefore be ...
The molecular formula C 4 H 10 (molar mass: 58.12 g/mol, exact mass: 58.0783 u) may refer to: Butane , or n -butane Isobutane , also known as methylpropane or 2-methylpropane
1,4-Dichlorobutane can be obtained from 1,4-butanediol as well as from tetrahydrofuran. [1]1,4-Dihalobutanes are well suited for the synthesis of 5-membered ring heterocyces.
