2-Methyl-2-butene is a clear, colorless liquid with a petroleum-like odor. Density is less than water, insoluble in water. So float on the water. Vapor is heavier than air.
2-methyl-2-butene is a natural product found in Tuber borchii for which data are available.
2-Methyl-2-butene, 2m2b, 2-methylbut-2-ene, also beta-isoamylene is an olefin with the molecular formula C5H10.
Used as a free radical scavenger in chloroform (chloroform) and dichloromethane (dichloromethane).
British physician John Snow tried it as an anesthetic in the 1840s, but stopped using it for unknown reasons.
The dianion of 2-methyl-2-butene: evidence for Y-aromatic stability
2-Methyl-2-butene may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. May react exothermically with reducing agents liberating gaseous hydrogen. Exothermic polymerization reactions may occur in the presence of various catalysts (e.g. acids) or initiators.
2-Methyl-2-butene technology. 90% the rest mainly 2-methyl-1-butene, technical grade
2-Methyl-2-butene (also known as Amylene) is an olefin with the molecular formula C5H10. It is colorless to light yellow transparent liquid. It can be used as a free radical scavenger in chloroform and dichloromethane. It is used for the alkylation of 3-methylthiophene over zeolite catalysts. It is also used as a precursor of peroxyacetyl nitrate for calibration purposes.
2-Methyl-2-butene is a colorless, volatile liquid with an unpleasant odor (detection limit about 2 ppt). Soluble in ethanol, ether, benzene, insoluble in water. For organic synthesis, hydrogenation, halogenation, alkylation, condensation reactions.
2-Methyl-2-butene is used for the preparation of 3-bromo-2.3-di Methyl-1,1-dicyanobutane. It can be used as a precursor of peroxyacetyl nitrate for calibration purposes.
