1butenos
1butenos refers to a small group of hydrocarbon compounds with the formula C4H8 that feature a carbon–carbon double bond at the first carbon of the chain. The principal member is but-1-ene (commonly called 1-butene), a straight-chain alkene with the structure CH2=CH-CH2-CH3. In most contexts, 1-butenes denotes but-1-ene, though commercial streams may also contain other butene isomers such as cis- or trans-2-butene, which are not 1-butenes but are common during production and processing.
But-1-ene is produced mainly in refinery processes that crack larger hydrocarbons, such as catalytic cracking of
Chemically, 1-butene behaves as a typical terminal alkene. It readily participates in addition reactions, including hydrogenation,
Safety and handling are important considerations due to flammability and vapor pressure. Industrial use involves closed
