4-Methyltridecane

Description:

4-Methyltridecane is an organic compound classified as an alkane, specifically a branched-chain hydrocarbon. It consists of a 13-carbon backbone with a methyl group attached to the fourth carbon atom. This structure contributes to its physical and chemical properties, including its relatively high boiling and melting points compared to straight-chain alkanes of similar molecular weight. 4-Methyltridecane is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is primarily used in the petrochemical industry and as a component in fuels and lubricants due to its hydrophobic nature and stability. The compound exhibits typical alkane characteristics, such as low reactivity under standard conditions, although it can undergo reactions like combustion and halogenation under specific conditions. Its molecular formula is C13H28, and it is important in studies related to hydrocarbon behavior and applications in various industrial processes. Safety data indicates that, like many hydrocarbons, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
