2-Methyl-3-methylenepentane

Description:

2-Methyl-3-methylenepentane, with the CAS number 7357-93-9, is an organic compound classified as an alkene due to the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond in its structure. It features a five-carbon chain with a methyl group attached to the second carbon and a methylene group (–CH=CH2) at the third carbon, contributing to its unsaturation. This compound is typically colorless and has a characteristic hydrocarbon odor. It is relatively non-polar, making it soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. The presence of the double bond gives it reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as addition reactions with halogens or hydrogen. Its boiling and melting points are influenced by its molecular structure and the presence of the double bond, which can affect its physical properties. As with many hydrocarbons, it is flammable and should be handled with care in a controlled environment. Overall, 2-Methyl-3-methylenepentane is of interest in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of more complex chemical compounds.
