Isobutenyl
Isobutenyl is a hydrocarbon radical with the chemical formula C4H7. It is derived from isobutane by the removal of one hydrogen atom. More specifically, it refers to a specific isomer of the butenyl group where the double bond is located between the second and third carbon atoms of a four-carbon chain, with a methyl group attached to the first carbon. The name "isobutenyl" implies this branched structure and the presence of a double bond.
Isobutenyl groups are often found as substituents in larger organic molecules. They are reactive intermediates due
