2-Methyl-2-butene, 2m2b, 2-methylbut-2-ene, beta-isoamylene, or trimethylethylene is an alkene hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C5H10. It is a flammable liquid.
Used as a free radical scavenger in trichloromethane and dichloromethane. It is also used to scavenge hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in the Pinnick oxidation.
