2m2b- Group is the 2-methyl-2-butyl group. Not to be confused with 2M2B (capital letters, 2-methyl-2-butanol). 2m2b can form groups such as 2m2b-OH (2-methyl-2-butyl alcohol, C5H11OH, 2-methyl-2-butanol, 2m2bOH), 2m2b-Cl (2-methyl-2-butyl chloride), 2m2b-Br (2-methyl-2-butyl Bromide), 2m2b-F (2-methyl-2-butyl Fluoride), and 2m2b-I (2-methyl-2-butyl Iodide). In addition, it could also form 2m2b-MgCl (2-methyl-2-butyl magnesium chloride), an intermediate in grignard reactions (which are performed in diethyl ether or dibutyl ether).
Tony: I reacted 2m2b-MgCl in diethyl ether with methyl iodide to synthesize 2m2b-Me (2,2-DMB; 2,2-Dinethylbutane). I used the 2m2b- Group
