CAS 589-34-4: 3-Methylhexane

Description: 3-Methylhexane is an organic compound classified as an alkane, specifically a branched-chain isomer of hexane. Its molecular formula is C7H16, indicating it consists of seven carbon atoms and sixteen hydrogen atoms. The structure features a six-carbon hexane backbone with a methyl group (–CH3) attached to the third carbon, which contributes to its branched nature. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic hydrocarbon odor. 3-Methylhexane is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its nonpolar characteristics. It has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger alkanes, making it volatile. As a component of gasoline, it plays a role in fuel formulations, influencing octane ratings and combustion properties. Additionally, 3-methylhexane is used in various industrial applications, including as a solvent and in organic synthesis. Its chemical stability and relatively low reactivity make it a safe compound to handle under standard laboratory conditions.
