Natural rubber is the cis-1,4-addition polymer of isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene).

Natural rubber is obtained as latex from the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). Chemically, it is a linear polymer of the monomer isoprene (CH2=C(CH3)-CH=CH2), with the double bonds retained in the cis configuration along the chain, giving the polymer its characteristic elasticity:

n CH2=C(CH3)-CH=CH2 -> [-CH2-C(CH3)=CH-CH2-]n (cis form)
