3-ethyl-3-methylhexane

Description:
3-Ethyl-3-methylhexane 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 features a hexane backbone with an ethyl group and a methyl group both attached to the third carbon atom, resulting in a highly branched structure. 3-Ethyl-3-methylhexane is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is typically insoluble in water due to its nonpolar nature, but it is soluble in organic solvents. It has a relatively high boiling point compared to straight-chain alkanes of similar molecular weight, reflecting its branched structure, which reduces the surface area available for intermolecular interactions. This compound is often used in research and industrial applications, including as a reference standard in gas chromatography. Additionally, it is important in the study of hydrocarbon behavior and properties, particularly in the context of fuel and energy applications.
