4,4-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 fourth carbon of an octane chain, contributing to its branched structure. As a saturated hydrocarbon, 4,4-Dimethyloctane is characterized by its relatively high stability and low reactivity compared to unsaturated hydrocarbons. It is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents. The compound has applications in the petrochemical industry, particularly as a component in fuels and lubricants, due to its favorable properties such as high energy content and low volatility. Additionally, it may be used in research settings for studies involving hydrocarbon behavior and properties. Safety data indicates that, like many alkanes, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact, as it can be irritating.
