Neopentane is the simplest alkane with a quaternary carbon, and has achiral tetrahedral symmetry. It is one of the three structural isomers with the molecular formula C 5 H 12 , the other two being n-pentane and isopentane. Out of these three, it is the only one to be a gas at standard conditions; the others are liquids.
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 ...
Structural formula of neopentane (quaternary carbon is highlighted red) A quaternary carbon is a carbon atom bound to four other carbon atoms. [ 1 ] For this reason, quaternary carbon atoms are found only in hydrocarbons having at least five carbon atoms.
It is one of three structural isomers with the molecular formula C 5 H 12, the others being pentane (n-pentane) and neopentane (2,2-dimethylpropane). Isopentane is commonly used in conjunction with liquid nitrogen to achieve a liquid bath temperature of −160 °C.

Neopentyl alcohol is a compound with formula (CH 3) 3 CCH 2 OH. It is a colorless solid. It is a colorless solid. The compound is one of the eight isomers of pentyl alcohol .
Pentaerythritol is an organic compound with the formula C(CH 2 OH) 4. The molecular structure can be described as a neopentane with one hydrogen atom in each methyl group replaced by a hydroxyl (–OH) group. It is therefore a polyol, specifically a tetrol. Pentaerythritol is a white solid.
Monobromopentanes are bromopentanes containing one bromine atom, with the formula C 5 H 11 Br. There are three isomers of unbranched monobromopentane: 1-Bromopentane; 2-Bromopentane [1] (chiral) 3-Bromopentane; There are four isomers of monobromopentane based on 2-methylbutane: 1-Bromo-2-methylbutane (chiral) 1-Bromo-3-methylbutane; 2-Bromo-2 ...
