2,3,3-Trimethylpentane is a long-chain fatty acid that has been irradiated. It is an important component of the petroleum fraction and can be found in gasoline. 2,3,3-Trimethylpentane has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties by reducing the production of cytokines and chemokines. The molecular descriptors are: C10H22O, molecular weight 176.27 g/mol, boiling point -78 °C (at 1 atm), refractive index 1.4337 (20 °C). This chemical has also been used as a natural product chemistry reagent for the synthesis of other compounds. In addition to its use as a reagent in organic synthesis, it is also used for the extraction of volatile compounds from samples using solid phase microextraction. 2,3,3-Trimethylpentane has also been shown to inhibit lung cancer cells and cell culture when exposed to high temperatures and low oxygen
