2,6,11-Trimethyldodecane

Description:

2,6,11-Trimethyldodecane is a branched-chain alkane with the molecular formula C15H32. It is characterized by its long carbon chain, which consists of a dodecane backbone with three methyl groups attached at the 2, 6, and 11 positions. This structure contributes to its hydrophobic nature and low reactivity, typical of alkanes. The substance is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents. Its boiling point is relatively high compared to shorter-chain hydrocarbons, reflecting the increased molecular weight and complexity. 2,6,11-Trimethyldodecane is primarily used in research and industrial applications, particularly in the formulation of lubricants and as a reference compound in various chemical analyses. Due to its branched structure, it exhibits lower volatility and higher stability than its straight-chain counterparts, making it useful in applications requiring thermal stability. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
