  1. Butyl

    In organic chemistry, butyl is a four-carbon alkyl radical or substituent group with general chemical formula -C4H9, derived from either of the two isomers of butane. The isomer n-butane can connect either at one of the two terminal carbon atoms or at one of the two internal carbon atoms, giving rise to two "-butyl" groups: ⁕Normal butyl or n-Butyl: CH3–CH2–CH2–CH2– ⁕Secondary butyl or sec-Butyl: CH3–CH2–CH– The second, branched isomer of butane, isobutane, can connect either at one of the three terminal carbons or at the central carbon, giving rise to another two groups: ⁕Isobutyl: (CH3)2CH–CH2– ⁕Tertiary butyl, tert-Butyl or t-butyl: (CH3)3C–
