2Methylbutane
2-Methylbutane is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H12. It is an isomer of pentane, meaning it has the same molecular formula but a different structural arrangement. In 2-methylbutane, a methyl group (CH3) is attached to the second carbon atom of a butane chain (CH3-CH2-CH(CH3)-CH3). This isomer is one of the many possible structural isomers of pentane, which includes n-pentane, 2-methylbutane, and 2,2-dimethylpropane, among others.
2-Methylbutane is a colorless, flammable liquid at room temperature. It is commonly used as a solvent in
The compound can be synthesized through various chemical reactions, including alkylation processes where a methyl group
2-Methylbutane is relatively non-toxic and non-reactive under normal conditions, making it a safe choice for many
