1-Ethyl-1-methylcyclopentane, with the CAS number 16747-50-5, is a cyclic hydrocarbon characterized by its unique structure, which includes a cyclopentane ring with an ethyl group and a methyl group attached to the same carbon atom. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a relatively low boiling point, typical of aliphatic hydrocarbons. It is non-polar and hydrophobic, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the ethyl and methyl groups contributes to its branched structure, which can influence its physical properties, such as density and viscosity. 1-Ethyl-1-methylcyclopentane is primarily of interest in organic synthesis and may serve as a solvent or intermediate in various chemical reactions. Its stability and reactivity are influenced by the steric hindrance introduced by the substituents on the cyclopentane ring. As with many hydrocarbons, it is important to handle this substance with care, as it may pose flammability risks.
