C4H9I
C4H9I is the chemical formula for several isomers of iodobutane. These are organic compounds belonging to the class of alkyl halides. The molecular formula indicates a molecule composed of four carbon atoms, nine hydrogen atoms, and one iodine atom. Due to the arrangement of the carbon chain, there are four distinct structural isomers of iodobutane: 1-iodobutane, 2-iodobutane, isobutyl iodide (or 1-iodo-2-methylpropane), and tert-butyl iodide (or 2-iodo-2-methylpropane).
1-iodobutane and 2-iodobutane are straight-chain isomers, differing in the position of the iodine atom. Isobutyl iodide
These compounds are typically synthesized through reactions involving alcohols and iodine-containing reagents. They can undergo various
