3,4-Dimethyloctane is an organic compound classified as an alkane, specifically a branched-chain hydrocarbon. Its molecular formula is C10H22, indicating it consists of ten carbon atoms and twenty-two hydrogen atoms. This compound features two methyl groups attached to the octane backbone at the 3rd and 4th carbon positions, which influences its physical and chemical properties. 3,4-Dimethyloctane is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits low volatility and a relatively high boiling point compared to straight-chain alkanes of similar molecular weight. It is non-polar, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of branching in its structure generally leads to lower density and higher stability compared to its straight-chain isomers. This compound is of interest in various applications, including fuel formulations and as a reference compound in research related to hydrocarbon behavior. Safety data indicates that, like many hydrocarbons, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact, as it may pose health risks.
