Isobutylene (or 2-methylpropene) is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula (CH3)2C=CH2. It is a four-carbon branched alkene (olefin), one of the four isomers of butylene. It is a colorless flammable gas, and is of considerable industrial value. [3]
Isobutylene is a colorless gas with a faint petroleum-like odor. For transportation it may be stenched. It is shipped as a liquefied gas under its own vapor pressure. Contact with the liquid can cause frostbite. It is easily ignited. Its vapors are heavier than air and a flame can flash back to the source of leak very easily.

2013年9月1日 · Isobutylene is a hydrocarbon of industrial significance. It is a four-carbon branched alkene (olefin) (C 4 H 8). At normal room temperature and pressure, isobutylene exists as a colorless gas that is often described as odorless, but sometimes it is said to have a faint petroleum-like odor. 1 It can be easily liquefied under pressure.
