3,6-Dimethyloctane

Description:
3,6-Dimethyloctane is an organic compound classified as an alkane, specifically a branched-chain hydrocarbon. It consists of a straight-chain octane backbone with two methyl groups attached at the 3rd and 6th carbon positions. This structure contributes to its physical properties, such as a relatively high boiling point compared to straight-chain alkanes of similar molecular weight, due to increased van der Waals forces from the branching. 3,6-Dimethyloctane is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Its molecular formula is C10H22, indicating it contains ten carbon atoms and twenty-two hydrogen atoms. The compound is primarily used in research and industrial applications, including as a reference standard in gas chromatography. Additionally, it may be involved in studies related to fuel properties and hydrocarbon behavior. As with many alkanes, it is relatively stable and non-reactive under standard conditions, although it can participate in combustion reactions, producing carbon dioxide and water.
