Pentane isomerization reaction.
| February 8, 2021 | education
Isomerization is the conversion of a chemical compound to an isomer.
We write down the reaction of pentane isomerization.
The pentane chain has 5 carbon atoms. Belongs to the class of alkanes, there are only single bonds in the chain. We write down the reaction.
CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – CH2 – CH3 = CH3 – CH2 – CH (CH3) – CH3.
As a result of the isomerization reaction, a compound is formed called 2-methylbutane (the methyl group is located at the second carbon atom). This reaction takes place under the action of a catalyst aluminum chloride.
