CAS 2216-34-4
:(±)-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.

4-Methyloctane
CAS:<p>4-Methyloctane is a hydrocarbon that consists of a chain of eight carbon atoms and four methyl groups. The chemical formula is CH3(CH2)4CH3. 4-Methyloctane has been shown to reduce the proliferation of leukemia cells and human macrophages, which may be due to its ability to inhibit fatty acid synthesis. It also has been shown to have protonation properties, which is why it can be used as a reaction intermediate for many organic reactions.</p>Formula:C9H20Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:Colorless Clear LiquidMolecular weight:128.26 g/mol4-Methyloctane
