3-Ethylpentane

Description:
3-Ethylpentane is an organic compound classified as an alkane, specifically a branched-chain hydrocarbon. Its molecular formula is C7H16, indicating it consists of seven carbon atoms and sixteen hydrogen atoms. This compound features a five-carbon pentane backbone with an ethyl group attached to the third carbon, which contributes to its branched structure. 3-Ethylpentane is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its relatively low viscosity and volatility 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 the formulation of fuels. The compound has a moderate boiling point and flash point, typical of alkanes of similar size, and it is flammable. Additionally, 3-Ethylpentane can be synthesized through various methods, including the alkylation of lower alkanes. Its properties make it of interest in both academic research and practical applications in organic chemistry and petrochemical industries.
