Formation of C5 species from iso-butene

Abstract
Iso-butene is an important intermediate for the oxidation and pyrolysis of branched alkanes such as iso-octane and that of octane enhancers such as MTBE
(Methyl-tert-butyl-ether) and ETBE (Ethyl-ter-butyl-ether). The aim of this study is to extend the iso-butene chemistry, presented previously by Schenk et al. [1],
including more C5 species like: 2-Methyl-2-butene (C5H10-M2D2), 3-Methyl-1-butene (C5H10-M3D1), n-pentene (C5H10-D1), and cis-2-pentene (C5H10-D2).
