What is a Isoprene (C₅H₈)?
Isoprene (C₅H₈), also known as 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, is a volatile, colorless liquid with a distinctive odor. It is the key building block of natural rubber and is produced by many plants, animals, and even humans. In industry, isoprene is primarily used to manufacture synthetic rubber (polyisoprene), which mimics the properties of natural rubber and is used in tires, gloves, and elastic materials.
Isoprene is also used in the synthesis of terpenoids and vitamins. Trees such as poplars and oaks emit large amounts of isoprene, which contributes to atmospheric chemical processes like ozone and aerosol formation. Though relatively low in toxicity, its high flammability requires careful handling in well-ventilated areas.
