3,4-Dimethylhexane

Description:

3,4-Dimethylhexane 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 features two methyl groups attached to the third and fourth carbon atoms of a hexane backbone, contributing to its branched structure. 3,4-Dimethylhexane is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its relatively low volatility and moderate viscosity compared to straight-chain alkanes. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various industrial applications, including as a solvent and in fuel formulations. The compound has a relatively high boiling point compared to its straight-chain isomers due to its branched structure, which affects its physical properties. Additionally, 3,4-Dimethylhexane is stable under normal conditions but can participate in combustion reactions, producing carbon dioxide and water. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be flammable and may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
