trans-1,2-Dimethylcyclopentane

Description:

Trans-1,2-Dimethylcyclopentane is a cyclic hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C7H14. It features a cyclopentane ring with two methyl groups attached at the first and second carbon positions in a trans configuration, which influences its physical and chemical properties. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a characteristic hydrocarbon odor. Its boiling point is relatively low, typical of aliphatic hydrocarbons, and it is less dense than water. Trans-1,2-Dimethylcyclopentane is non-polar and insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The trans configuration contributes to its stability and affects its reactivity, making it less prone to certain types of reactions compared to its cis counterpart. It is primarily used in organic synthesis and as a solvent in various chemical processes. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be flammable and may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
