(±)-4-Methyloctane

Description:
(±)-4-Methyloctane, with the CAS number 2216-34-4, is an organic compound classified as an alkane. It is a branched-chain hydrocarbon, specifically a derivative of octane, featuring a methyl group attached to the fourth carbon of the octane chain. This compound is characterized by its hydrophobic nature, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It typically exists as a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a relatively low boiling point, consistent with other alkanes of similar molecular weight. The presence of the chiral center at the fourth carbon results in two enantiomers, contributing to its designation as (±)-4-methyloctane, indicating a racemic mixture of both enantiomers. This compound is primarily of interest in organic synthesis and as a reference substance in various chemical analyses. Its physical and chemical properties, such as density and viscosity, are influenced by its molecular structure, making it relevant in studies related to fuel properties and hydrocarbon behavior.
