CAS 1560-78-7
:2-Methyltetracosane
Description:
2-Methyltetracosane is a long-chain alkane with the molecular formula C25H52, characterized by a straight-chain structure with a methyl group attached to the second carbon of the tetracosane backbone. This compound is part of the n-alkane family and is typically found in various natural sources, including certain waxes and oils. It is a colorless, odorless solid at room temperature, exhibiting low volatility and high hydrophobicity, which makes it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the methyl group introduces slight branching, which can influence its physical properties, such as melting and boiling points, compared to its straight-chain counterparts. 2-Methyltetracosane is of interest in various fields, including materials science and organic chemistry, due to its potential applications in lubricants, surfactants, and as a model compound for studying the behavior of long-chain hydrocarbons. Its stability and resistance to degradation also make it relevant in the study of environmental persistence of hydrocarbons.
