Application
2-Methylbutane can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
It can also be used as a weakly polar solvent to study the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect and the solvatochromic behavior of the pyrene substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives.[3]
- Isoprene by two-stage dehydrogenation process using chromia-alumina catalyst.[1]
- Alkyl aromatic compounds via silver-catalyzed selective C(sp3)–H benzylation reaction in the presence of N-triftosylhydrazones as carbene precursor.[2]
It can also be used as a weakly polar solvent to study the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect and the solvatochromic behavior of the pyrene substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives.[3]
