2-Methylpentane

Description:
2-Methylpentane is an organic compound classified as an alkane, specifically a branched-chain isomer of hexane. Its molecular formula is C6H14, indicating it consists of six carbon atoms and fourteen hydrogen atoms. The structure features a five-carbon straight chain with a methyl group (–CH3) attached to the second carbon, which contributes to its branched nature. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic hydrocarbon odor. It is relatively non-polar and exhibits low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents. 2-Methylpentane has a boiling point that is higher than that of its straight-chain isomers due to its branching, which reduces surface area and van der Waals forces. It is commonly used as a solvent and in various industrial applications, including fuel blending. Additionally, it is a component of gasoline and can be produced through the catalytic cracking of petroleum. Safety considerations include flammability and potential health effects upon inhalation or skin contact, necessitating proper handling and storage protocols.
