2,3,4-Trimethylpentane

Description:
2,3,4-Trimethylpentane is an organic compound classified as an alkane, specifically a branched-chain hydrocarbon. Its molecular formula is C8H18, indicating it consists of eight carbon atoms and eighteen hydrogen atoms. This compound is characterized by its three methyl groups attached to a pentane backbone, which contributes to its branched structure. 2,3,4-Trimethylpentane is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its relatively high octane rating, making it a valuable component in gasoline formulations to enhance fuel performance and reduce engine knocking. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting typical behavior of hydrocarbons. The compound has a boiling point that is higher than that of straight-chain alkanes of similar molecular weight, due to the branching which affects intermolecular forces. Additionally, it is flammable and should be handled with care in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation or contact with skin. Overall, 2,3,4-trimethylpentane serves as an important substance in both industrial applications and research settings.
