butadiène : Hydrocarbure diénique de formule C4H6, dont il existe deux isomères, le butadiène-1,2 [de formule] CH2=C=CH-CH3, et le butadiène-1,3, CH2=CH-CH=CH2. 11, record 1, French, - buta%2D1%2C3%2Ddi%C3%A8ne
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Seul l'isomère 1,3 du butadiène est important. Prototype des diènes 1,3, il en a toutes les propriétés. Industriellement, celles-ci sont mises à profit pour fabriquer des polymères ou des copolymères (avec le styrène, l'acrylonitrile ou l'isobutène), qui sont tous des élastomères. Il joue aussi un rôle important comme intermédiaire dans la synthèse du Nylon. 11, record 1, French, - buta%2D1%2C3%2Ddi%C3%A8ne

butadiène : Comme on entend généralement par «butadiène» l'isomère 1,3- (parce que c'est le plus important), les deux termes «butadiène» et «buta-1,3-diène» (ou «1,3-butadiène») en sont venus à être considérés comme des synonymes; au sens strict cependant, le premier est bien entendu un générique. 12, record 1, French, - buta%2D1%2C3%2Ddi%C3%A8ne
