Talk:Butadiene

message: I would have preferred if this article had stayed on the Butadiene page, instead of being moved to 1,3-Butadiene.  
*A lot of people who talk about 1,3-butadiene simply called it butadiene; probably most people.  The 1,3-isomer is usually understood.  
*I think it's a good idea up to bring up front the fact that what most people call butadiene is actually 1,3-butadiene and that that a different 1,2-butadiene exists.  
*Some may call the compound buta-1,3-diene, adding another complication to the works.  
Otherwise the article can be written as before, covering 1,3-butadiene in detail with a Table of Properties and minimally mentioning 1,2-butadiene without a Table of Properties.  
I think it would be a good idea to cover or at least mention as many compounds as practicable in Wikipedia, even though there may not be enough material on individual ones to merit their own articles or their own Tables of Properties.  One way to do this is to cover or mention such less important compounds in related Wikipedia articles, whether it is with or without Tables of Properties.  I've started writing up a list of such compounds/articles offline with recommendations on each case, but I haven't finished yet.  H Padleckas 06:17, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that this article should be moved back to its common name of Butadiene.  Wikipedia practice is to prefer the most commonly used name.  Anyone arguing for the present name could with the same rationale propose moving DDT to its IUPAC name 1,1,1-Trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane.

message: How about we put CH2CHCHCH2 somewhere? I know there's CH2=CHCH=CH2 in one of the equations, but it would be easier to have the first one, for searching the formula if someone does not know the name. 75.5.5.196 (talk) 23:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Beligerent is not a neutral term and should be replaced by a non-offensive term. (I don't have a good one right now or I would do it)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.103.184.76 (talk) 18:53, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The whole motivation theory for the invention of the butadiene-styrene copolymer replacement for rubber is not only unsourced but implausible.  No one was calling Germany's Weimar Republic a belligerent in 1929 when it invented that copolymer.  Russian belligerence was largely internal at that time under Stalin.  And the US on the other side of the Atlantic had no designs on Europe---it took Pearl Harbor to drag it into WW2.  If there's a source to the contrary then supply it, otherwise the belligerence angle for the development of the copolymer needs to go.  Vaughan Pratt (talk) 04:41, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Could be useful for discussing cycloadditions (Diels-Alder reaction?).

message: This may not be the place for this question. Could someone include the subject of popcorn polymer to this article? The CSB just released a video on an incident. From U-Tube description - "A CSB safety video on the November 2019 incident at the TPC Group Chemical Plant in Port Neches, Texas. A series of explosions destroyed a portion of the TPC facility, damaged nearby homes and businesses, and prompted a mandatory evacuation of residents living within four miles of the plant. Several workers and members of the public reported injuries and fires burned at the facility for over a month.  The incident caused $450 million in on-site property damage and $153 million in off-site property damage to nearby homes and businesses.  Media reports indicated that the blast was felt up to 30 miles away." Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-3BFXpBcjc Thank You Drsayle (talk) 17:59, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Formation of "Popcorn Polymer". 

message: The page is titled 'Butadiene', refers to the molecule as 1,3-butadiene, and says in the infobox that the preferred IUPAC name is buta-1,3-diene. It makes sense (by the discussion above) that the article is titled by the common name 'butadiene' , but which (of the last two) is the correct formal name for this molecule? It seems confusing to refer to it by two different names, or by a name that isn't the preferred one. CosmicSpirol (talk) 12:06, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
