CAS 2051-30-1: 2,6-Dimethyloctane

Description: 2,6-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 sixth carbon of an octane chain, which contributes to its branched structure. 2,6-Dimethyloctane 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 straight-chain alkanes of similar molecular weight, which is attributed to its branched structure that reduces surface area and van der Waals forces. This 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 combustion characteristics, as branched alkanes often exhibit different performance metrics compared to their straight-chain counterparts.
