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 3, French, - buta%2D1%2C3%2Ddi%C3%A8ne
