Octane is a component of gasoline and petroleum. Under standard temperature and pressure, octane is an odorless, colorless liquid. Like other short-chained alkanes with a low molecular weight, it is volatile, flammable, and toxic. Octane is 1.2 to 2 times more toxic than heptane. [5]
Octane rating is measured relative to a mixture of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (an isomer of octane) and n-heptane. There are different conventions for expressing octane ratings, so the same physical fuel may have several different octane ratings based on the measure used. One of the best known is the research octane number (RON).
2,2,4-Trimethylpentane, also known as isooctane or iso-octane, is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 3 CCH 2 CH(CH 3) 2. It is one of several isomers of octane (C 8 H 18 ). This particular isomer is the standard 100 point on the octane rating scale (the zero point is n -heptane ).
2-Methylpentane, trivially known as isohexane, is a branched-chain alkane with the molecular formula C 6 H 14.It is a structural isomer of hexane composed of a methyl group bonded to the second carbon atom in a pentane chain.
The heterocyclic molecule DABCO has a total of 8 atoms in its bridged structure, hence the root name octane. Here the two bridgehead atoms are nitrogen instead of carbon atoms. Therefore, the official name gets the additional prefix 1,4-diaza and the total name becomes 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane.
DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane), also known as triethylenediamine or TEDA, is a bicyclic organic compound with the formula N 2 (C 2 H 4) 3. This colorless solid is a highly nucleophilic tertiary amine base , which is used as a catalyst and reagent in polymerization and organic synthesis .
The molecular formula C 8 H 14 (molar mass: 110.20 g/mol) may refer to: Allylcyclopentane; ... Bicyclo[3.2.1]octane [1] References This page was last ...
In the above example [4.2.0]-bicyclooctane would be written bicyclo[4.2.0]octane to fit the conventions for IUPAC naming. It then has room for an additional numerical prefix if there is the need to include details of other attachments to the molecule such as chlorine or a methyl group.
