2- methyl-3-butene emissions

A singlet precursor has, however, been proposed for 4,4,4-triohloro-2-methyl-1-butene (17) produced in the photolysis of isomesityl oxide (18) in carbon tetrachloride solution on the basis of its all-emission spectrum (DoMinh, 1971). There remains some ambiguity, however, about the detailed route by which 17 is formed. Moreover there is other evidence suggesting that ketone photolysis in carbon tetrachloride is different CI3C.

A mixture of sodamide, bromoanisole, and l-methoxy-2-methyl-l-(trimethylsilyl-oxy)-l-butene were reacted at room temperature at a 50 millimolar scale. After some two horns, with slight emission of ammonia, the reaction suddenly became exothermic, with violent gas emission and on one occasion a fire. This was a modest scale-up of a literature procedure for synthesis of 2-alky lbenzoic acids, via a benzyne intermediate. It is advised that this reaction be employed only on smaller scale, with safety precautions. The reaction must pass through a benzocyclobutane intermediate, this, or another, high energy species might accumulate and then decompose. 

Source Schauer et al. (1999) reported 3-methyl-1-butene in a diesel-powered medium-duty truck exhaust at an emission rate of 160 pg/km. 

Schauer et al. (2001) measured organic compound emission rates for volatile organic compounds, gas-phase semi-volatile organic compounds, and particle-phase organic compounds from the residential (fireplace) combustion of pine, oak, and eucalyptus. The gas-phase emission rate of 3-methyl-1-butene was 6.9 mg/kg of pine burned. Emission rates of 3-methyl-l-butene were not measured during the combustion of oak and eucalyptus. 

California Phase II reformulated gasoline contained 3-methyl-l-butene at a concentration of 380 mg/kg. Gas-phase tailpipe emission rates from gasoline-powered automobiles with and without catalytic converters were 0.35 and 22.5 mg/km, respectively (Schauer et al, 2002).

Often isomerization reactions are highly two-way (reversible). For example, the isomerization of 1-butene to isobutene is an important step in the production of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), a common oxygenated additive in gasoline used to lower emissions. MTBE is produced by reacting isobutene with methanol ...

The current MCM describes the degradation of methane and 135 of the main VOCs emitted in the U.K., based on the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (see chapter I). It also includes reactions of inorganic species. It contains 13,500 reactions involving 5,900 species. Most of the emitted species included are of anthropogenic origin. Four biogenic compounds are currently included isoprene, a- and /3-pinene and 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol, but plans are in hand to include further such compounds.
