1-Butyne

1-Butyne, also known as ethylacetylene, is a terminal alkyne with the chemical formula C₄H₆. It exists as a colorless, extremely flammable gas. As a terminal alkyne, it has a hydrogen atom attached to one of the triply bonded carbons, making it acidic at that position and allowing it to participate in specific reactions that its isomer, 2-butyne, cannot. 1-Butyne is a valuable reagent in organic synthesis and is often used in studies of catalysis. It is considered slightly less stable than 2-butyne based on its heat of combustion. Industrially, it is an impurity in C₄ petroleum streams that must be removed during the production of 1-butene, a key monomer for making certain types of polyethylene.
