  2. 1-Butene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Butene

    1-Butene (IUPAC name: But-1-ene, also known as 1-butylene) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CH=CH 2. It is a colorless gas. But-1-ene is an alkene easily condensed to give a colorless liquid. It is classified as a linear alpha-olefin (terminal alkene). [2] It is one of the isomers of butene (butylene). It is a precursor to ...

    2-methylprop-1-ene In the chemical structures above, the small blue numbers in the structure images are the numbering of the atoms in the main backbone chain of the molecules. Other organic compounds have the formula C 4 H 8 , namely cyclobutane and methylcyclopropane , but are not alkenes and do not fall under the name butene .

  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 ...

    1,3-Butadiene (/ ˌ b juː t ə ˈ d aɪ iː n / ⓘ) [8] is the organic compound with the formula CH 2 =CH-CH=CH 2. It is a colorless gas that is easily condensed to a liquid. It is a colorless gas that is easily condensed to a liquid.

  6. Zaytsev's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaytsev's_rule

    For example, when 2-iodobutane is treated with alcoholic potassium hydroxide (KOH), but-2-ene is the major product and but-1-ene is the minor product. [1] More generally, Zaytsev's rule predicts that in an elimination reaction the most substituted product will be the most stable, and therefore the most favored.

  7. Methyl vinyl ketone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_vinyl_ketone

    Methyl vinyl ketone (MVK, IUPAC name: butenone) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 C(O)CH=CH 2. It is a reactive compound classified as an enone , in fact the simplest example thereof. It is a colorless, flammable, highly toxic liquid with a pungent odor.

  8. Polybutene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polybutene

    Polybutene is an organic polymer made from a mixture of 1-butene, 2-butene, and isobutylene. Ethylene steam cracker C4s are also used as supplemental feed for polybutene. It is similar to polyisobutylene (PIB), which is produced from essentially pure isobutylene made in a C4 complex of a major refinery. The presence of isomers other than ...

  9. Terminal alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_alkene

    The double bond of an alpha olefin is between the #1 and #2 (IUPAC) or α and β (common) carbon atoms. In organic chemistry , terminal alkenes ( alpha-olefins , α-olefins , or 1-alkenes ) are a family of organic compounds which are alkenes (also known as olefins) with a chemical formula C x H 2 x , distinguished by having a double bond at the ...
