tetramethylene
Tetramethylene, also known as cyclobutane, is a cycloalkane with the chemical formula C4H8. It is a saturated hydrocarbon consisting of four carbon atoms arranged in a ring. In its pure form, tetramethylene is a colorless gas at room temperature and pressure, with a slightly sweet odor. It is a flammable substance.
The structure of tetramethylene is a four-membered ring. Due to ring strain, the bond angles in cyclobutane
Tetramethylene is primarily used as a precursor in the synthesis of other organic compounds, particularly in
