2,4-dimethylhexane

Description:
2,4-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 second and fourth carbon atoms of a hexane backbone, contributing to its branched structure. 2,4-Dimethylhexane is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its relatively low volatility and moderate viscosity. 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 straight-chain alkanes of similar molecular weight due to its branched structure, which reduces surface area and intermolecular forces. Additionally, 2,4-dimethylhexane is flammable and should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols to mitigate risks associated with its use.
