What does DIENE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
An organic compound whose molecule contains two carbon-carbon double bonds.
Chemists sort a diene by how its two double bonds sit relative to each other, and a conjugated diene, where the bonds sit next to a single bond in an alternating pattern, reacts readily in the well known Diels-Alder reaction used to build ring-shaped molecules. Natural rubber is itself a long chain built from a simple diene unit called isoprene, and factories use related synthetic dienes to make tougher rubber and plastic compounds. A diene is therefore a building block found across both natural materials and industrial chemistry.
