5-Methylundecane

Description:
5-Methylundecane is an organic compound classified as an alkane, specifically a branched-chain hydrocarbon. Its molecular formula is C12H26, indicating it consists of twelve carbon atoms and twenty-six hydrogen atoms. This compound features a methyl group attached to the fifth carbon of an undecane chain, which contributes to its branched structure. 5-Methylundecane is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is typically insoluble in water due to its nonpolar nature, but it is soluble in organic solvents. It has a relatively high boiling point compared to smaller alkanes, reflecting its larger molecular size. This compound is primarily of interest in the fields of organic chemistry and petrochemical research, often studied for its properties as a fuel or solvent. Additionally, it may be encountered in various industrial applications, including lubricants and as a component in gasoline. Safety data indicates that, like many hydrocarbons, it should be handled with care due to potential flammability and health risks associated with inhalation or skin contact.
