3-Ethylhexane

Description:

3-Ethylhexane is an organic compound classified as an alkane, specifically a branched-chain hydrocarbon. Its molecular formula is C10H22, indicating it consists of ten carbon atoms and twenty-two hydrogen atoms. This compound features a straight-chain hexane backbone with an ethyl group attached to the third carbon atom. 3-Ethylhexane is a colorless, flammable liquid at room temperature, exhibiting typical alkane properties such as low reactivity and insolubility in water. It has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger hydrocarbons, making it volatile. The compound is primarily used as a solvent and in various chemical synthesis processes. Its physical properties, such as density and viscosity, are influenced by its branched structure, which generally leads to lower boiling points and higher vapor pressures compared to their straight-chain counterparts. Safety precautions should be taken when handling 3-ethylhexane, as it can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and it is important to store it in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition.
