Overview
Isoamylene
Isoamylene (2-methyl-2-butene) is a branched C5 olefin widely used as a versatile chemical intermediate in the fragrance, pesticide, and antioxidant industries. It is a key raw material for producing TAME (tert-amyl methyl ether) fuel additive, tert-amyl alcohol, and various specialty chemicals. In fragrance chemistry, it serves as a precursor for linalool and other terpene-derived aroma compounds. Its reactive double bond enables facile addition reactions, making it valuable for producing antioxidants such as BHT and specialty agrochemical intermediates.
