  2. Neopentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neopentane

    Neopentane is a flammable gas at room temperature and pressure which can condense into a highly volatile liquid on a cold day, in an ice bath, or when compressed to a higher pressure. Neopentane is the simplest alkane with a quaternary carbon, and has achiral tetrahedral symmetry. It is one of the three structural isomers with the molecular ...

  3. Pentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentane

    Pentane is an organic compound with the formula C 5 H 12 —that is, an alkane with five carbon atoms. The term may refer to any of three structural isomers, or to a mixture of them: in the IUPAC nomenclature, however, pentane means exclusively the n-pentane isomer, in which case pentanes refers to a mixture of them; the other two are called isopentane (methylbutane) and neopentane ...

  4. 2,2-Dimethylbutane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,2-Dimethylbutane

    2,2-Dimethylbutane, trivially known as neohexane, is an organic compound with formula C 6 H 14 or (H 3 C-) 3-C-CH 2-CH 3. It is therefore an alkane , indeed the most compact and branched of the hexane isomers — the only one with a quaternary carbon and a butane (C 4 ) backbone.

  5. 2,2-Dimethylpentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,2-Dimethylpentane

    2,2-Dimethylpentane can form a clathrate hydrate with helper gas molecules. The type of clathrate formed is called "clathrate H". 2,2-Dimethylpentane was the first compound for which the structure was determined. The clathrate has 34 molecules of water per molecule, and also has xenon and hydrogen sulfide as helper molecules.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_formula

    The skeletal formula of the antidepressant drug escitalopram, featuring skeletal representations of heteroatoms, a triple bond, phenyl groups and stereochemistry. The skeletal formula, line-angle formula, bond-line formula or shorthand formula of an organic compound is a type of molecular structural formula that serves as a shorthand representation of a molecule's bonding and some details of ...

  7. Newman projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newman_projection

    A Newman projection is a drawing that helps visualize the 3-dimensional structure of a molecule. [1] This projection most commonly sights down a carbon-carbon bond, making it a very useful way to visualize the stereochemistry of alkanes. A Newman projection visualizes the conformation of a chemical bond from front to back, with the front atom ...

  8. IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    For example, C(CH 3) 4 (neopentane) is named 2,2-dimethylpropane. If there are different groups, they are added in alphabetical order, separated by commas or hyphens. The longest possible main alkane chain is used; therefore 3-ethyl-4-methylhexane instead of 2,3-diethylpentane, even though these describe equivalent structures.

  9. Isobutane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobutane

    R600-Isobutane 13.6Kg Cylinder by Starke Hvac. 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.
