2butenos
2-Butenes, or 2-butene, refers to the class of four‑carbon alkenes that contain a double bond between the second and third carbon. It exists in two geometric isomers: cis-2-butene (Z-2-butene) and trans-2-butene (E-2-butene). Both share the molecular formula C4H8 and are simple internal alkenes with similar chemical reactivity, though their physical properties differ due to shape and polarity.
Production and occurrence: 2-Butenes are produced during petroleum refining and natural gas processing, largely through cracking
Properties and reactivity: At room temperature, 2-butene is a gas. It participates in typical alkene reactions,
Applications: As a petrochemical feedstock, 2-butenes serve as building blocks in various syntheses, including routes to
Safety: 2-Butenes are flammable gases and should be handled with appropriate ventilation and controls. Proper storage
