2,2,3-Trimethylbutane

Description:
2,2,3-Trimethylbutane is a branched-chain alkane with the molecular formula C8H18. It is characterized by its structure, which features a central butane backbone with three methyl groups attached to the second and third carbon atoms. This configuration contributes to its high degree of branching, which influences its physical and chemical properties. The substance is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a relatively low boiling point compared to straight-chain alkanes of similar molecular weight, making it more volatile. 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane is known for its high octane rating, which makes it a valuable component in gasoline formulations, enhancing fuel performance and reducing engine knocking. It is also relatively stable and non-polar, exhibiting low reactivity under standard conditions. Additionally, it is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is typical for hydrocarbons. Safety considerations include its flammability and potential health effects upon inhalation or skin contact, necessitating appropriate handling and storage measures.
