2-Butyne

2-Butyne, also called dimethylacetylene or crotonylene, is an internal alkyne with the chemical formula CH₃C≡CCH₃. It is a colorless, volatile, and pungent liquid at standard conditions. Unlike its isomer 1-butyne, the triple bond in 2-butyne is located in the middle of the carbon chain, making it an internal alkyne. This structural difference means it does not have an acidic hydrogen on a triply bonded carbon. 2-Butyne is produced artificially and is used in various chemical syntheses. For instance, it is a key component in the synthesis of alkylated hydroquinones, which are precursors in the industrial production of Vitamin E. It is also used as a monomer in the creation of specialty polymers. Explore searchable catalogue of hundreds of molecules, including details on how models were generated.
