CAS 1067-08-9: 3-Methyl-3-ethylpentane

Description: 3-Methyl-3-ethylpentane is an organic compound classified as an alkane, specifically a branched-chain hydrocarbon. Its molecular formula is C8H18, indicating it consists of eight carbon atoms and eighteen hydrogen atoms. This compound features a pentane backbone with a methyl group and an ethyl group attached to the third carbon, resulting in a complex structure that contributes to its physical and chemical properties. 3-Methyl-3-ethylpentane is a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a characteristic hydrocarbon odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its nonpolar nature. The compound has a relatively high boiling point compared to straight-chain alkanes of similar molecular weight due to its branching, which affects intermolecular forces. It is primarily used in research and as a reference compound in various chemical analyses. Additionally, like other alkanes, it is flammable and should be handled with care in laboratory settings.
