2,4,6-trimethylheptane

Description:
2,4,6-Trimethylheptane 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 is characterized by its three methyl groups located at the 2, 4, and 6 positions of a heptane backbone, which contributes to its branched structure. 2,4,6-Trimethylheptane is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its relatively high boiling point compared to straight-chain alkanes of similar molecular weight, due to increased van der Waals forces from its branched structure. It is primarily used in research and as a reference compound in octane rating tests, as it exhibits high octane characteristics. Additionally, it is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The compound is stable under normal conditions but should be handled with care due to its flammability. Overall, 2,4,6-trimethylheptane serves as an important model in studies related to hydrocarbon behavior and fuel properties.
