2-methylbut-2-ene
2-Methyl-2-butene, 2m2b, 2-methylbut-2-ene, also beta-isoamylene is an alkene hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C5H10. Used as a free radical scavenger in trichloromethane (chloroform) and dichloromethane (methylene chloride). John Snow, the English physician, experimented with it in the 1840s as an anesthetic, but stopped using it for unknown reasons. See also *Pentene Pentenes are alkenes with the chemical formula .

Pentene
Pentenes are alkenes with the chemical formula . Each contains one double bond within its molecular structure. Six different compounds are in this class, differing from each other by whether the carbon atoms are attached linearly or in a branched structure, and whether the double bond has a ''cis'' or ''trans'' form. Straight-chain isomers 1-Pentene is an alpha-olefin. Most often, 1-pentene is made as a byproduct of catalytic or thermal cracking of petroleum, or during production of ethylene and propylene via thermal cracking of hydrocarbon fractions. The only commercial manufacturer of 1-pentene is Sasol Ltd, where it is separated from crude made by the Fischer–Tropsch process. 2-Pentene has two geometric isomers, ''cis''-2-pentene and ''trans''-2-pentene. ''Cis''-2-Pentene is used in olefin metathesis. Branched-chain isomers The branched isomers are 2-methylbut-1-ene, 3-methylbut-1-ene (isopentene), and 2-methylbut-2-ene (isoamylene). Isoamylene is one of three main ...
