  2. Octane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane

    Octane is a hydrocarbon and an alkane with the chemical formula C 8 H 18, and the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 6 CH 3. Octane has many structural isomers that differ by the location of branching in the carbon chain. One of these isomers, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (commonly called iso-octane), is used as one of the standard values in ...

  3. 1-Octene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Octene

    1-Octene is an organic compound with a formula CH 2 CHC 6 H 13.The alkene is classified as a higher olefin and alpha-olefin, meaning that the double bond is located at the alpha (primary) position, endowing this compound with higher reactivity and thus useful chemical properties. 1-Octene is one of the important linear alpha olefins in industry.

  4. Octadecane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octadecane

    Octadecane. Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). Octadecane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH 3 (CH 2) 16 CH 3.

  5. Heptane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptane

    Heptane or n-heptane is the straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula H 3 C (CH 2) 5 CH 3 or C 7 H 16. When used as a test fuel component in anti-knock test engines, a 100% heptane fuel is the zero point of the octane rating scale (the 100 point is 100% iso-octane). Octane number equates to the anti-knock qualities of a comparison mixture ...

  6. 2-Octanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-octanol

    2-Octanol (octan-2-ol, 2-OH) is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3CH (OH) (CH2)5CH3. It is a colorless oily liquid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. 2-Octanol is classified fatty alcohol. A secondary alcohol, it is chiral.

  7. Pentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentane

    Pentane is an organic compound with the formula C 5 H 12 —that is, an alkane with five carbon atoms. The term may refer to any of three structural isomers, or to a mixture of them: in the IUPAC nomenclature, however, pentane means exclusively the n-pentane isomer, in which case pentanes refers to a mixture of them; the other two are called isopentane (methylbutane) and neopentane ...

  8. 1-Octanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Octanol

    1-Octanol, also known as octan-1-ol, is the organic compound with the molecular formula CH 3 (CH 2) 7 OH. It is a fatty alcohol. Many other isomers are also known generically as octanols. 1-Octanol is manufactured for the synthesis of esters for use in perfumes and flavorings. It has a pungent odor. Esters of octanol, such as octyl acetate ...

    B-4 was equivalent to 89-octane and the C-3 was roughly equal to the U.S. 100-octane, though lean mixture was rated around 95-octane and was poorer than the U.S. version. Maximum output achieved in 1943 reached 52,200 barrels (8,300 m 3 ; 293,000 cu ft) a day before the Allies decided to target the synthetic fuel plants.
