4-methylundecane

Description:
4-Methylundecane is an organic compound classified as an alkane, specifically a branched-chain hydrocarbon. Its molecular formula is C12H26, indicating it consists of twelve carbon atoms and twenty-six hydrogen atoms. The structure features a straight-chain undecane backbone with a methyl group attached to the fourth carbon atom, which contributes to its branched nature. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 4-Methylundecane has a relatively high boiling point compared to straight-chain alkanes of similar molecular weight due to its branched structure, which reduces surface area and van der Waals forces. It is primarily used in research and industrial applications, including as a reference compound in gas chromatography. Additionally, it may be found in certain petroleum products. As with many hydrocarbons, it is flammable and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions to prevent fire hazards.
