iseerimise
Isomerization, in the Estonian context often referred to as isomeriseerimine or isomerization, is the chemical process of converting a molecule into another molecule that has the same molecular formula but a different arrangement of atoms. The resulting compounds, isomers, can be structural (constitutional) isomers with different connectivity, or stereoisomers such as cis/trans forms or enantiomers.
The process can proceed through various mechanisms. It may involve rearrangements of the carbon skeleton, bond
In industry, isomerization has practical importance in refining and petrochemistry. A key application is the conversion
Common examples include converting n-butane to isobutane and rearranging alkenes to achieve different cis/trans configurations. Isomerization
