2-Methylheptane

Description:
2-Methylheptane 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. The structure features a heptane backbone with a methyl group attached to the second carbon, which contributes to its branched nature. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic hydrocarbon odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its non-polar characteristics. 2-Methylheptane 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 van der Waals forces. It is primarily used as a solvent and in fuel applications, and it can also serve as a reference compound in octane rating tests. Additionally, 2-methylheptane is considered a relatively stable compound, with low reactivity under standard conditions, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
