butadiene (by t'ədī`ēn), colorless, gaseous hydrocarbon. There are two structural isomers of butadiene; they differ in the location of the two carbon-carbon double bonds in the butadiene molecule. One (1,2-butadiene) has the formula CH2:C:CHCH3. The other (1,3-butadiene), often called simply butadiene, has the formula CH2:CHCH:CH2; it is used in the manufacture of synthetic rubber, latex paints, and nylon and is obtained chiefly by dehydrogenation of butane and butene obtained by cracking petroleum.

This study includes what we
believe to be the first measurements of 1,3-butadiene in smokers'
and nonsmokers' breath. Hydrogenated
carboxylated nitrile butadiene robber (HXNBR) is formed by polymerizing
a conjugated diene such as 1,3-butadiene, a nitrile such as
acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile and an unsaturated carboxylic acid
such as acrylic or methacrylic acid to produce a polymer with a C=C
backbone and a random or statistical monomer distribution. Species differences in the production
and clearance of 1,3-butadiene metabolites: a mechanistic model
indicates predominantly physiological, not biochemical, control. |
