nitrobutyl
Nitrobutyl refers to a class of organic compounds containing a butyl group and a nitro group. The butyl group is a four-carbon alkyl chain, and the nitro group is a functional group with the chemical formula -NO2. The relative positions of these groups on the carbon chain define specific nitrobutyl isomers. For example, 1-nitrobutane has the nitro group attached to the first carbon of the butyl chain, while 2-nitrobutane has it attached to the second carbon.
These compounds are typically synthesized through the nitration of butane or related precursors. Nitrobutanes can exist
Nitrobutanes find applications as solvents and as intermediates in the synthesis of other organic chemicals. For
