2metüülpropeen
2-methylpropene, also known as isobutylene, is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH3)2C=CH2. It is a colorless gas at room temperature and pressure, and it is highly flammable. 2-methylpropene is an alkene, characterized by the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond. It is one of the four isomers of butene. It is primarily produced as a byproduct of petroleum refining, specifically from the catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons. It can also be produced through the dehydration of tert-butyl alcohol.
The primary industrial application of 2-methylpropene is as a feedstock for the production of other chemicals.
