Description and Uses
2-Methyl-2-butene (also named as Amylene) is an alkene hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C5H10. It is a colorless to pale yellow clear liquid. It can be used as a free radical scavenger in trichloromethane and dichloromethane. It was used for the alkylation of 3-methylthiophene over a zeolitic catalyst. It was also used as a precursor of peroxyacetyl nitrate for calibration purpose.
2-Methyl-2-butene is used to prepare 3-Brom-2.3-dimethyl-1.1-dicyan-butan in the presence of 2,2'-azobis-(2,4-dimethyl-4-methoxyvaleronitrile) as a catalyst. It may be employed as precursor for peroxyacetyl nitrate for the calibration purposes.
