3-Methylhexane is a branched hydrocarbon with two enantiomers. [2] It is one of the isomers of heptane. The molecule is chiral, and is one of the two isomers of heptane to have this property, the other being its structural isomer 2,3-dimethylpentane. The enantiomers are (R)-3-methylhexane [3] and (S)-3-methylhexane. [4]

In organic chemistry, alkylidene is a general term for divalent functional groups of the form R 2 C=, where each R is an alkane or hydrogen. [1] They can be considered the functional group corresponding to mono- or disubstituted divalent carbenes (known as alkylidenes), [2] or as the result of removing two hydrogen atoms from the same carbon atom in an alkane.
The group may be represented as −CH 2 − or >CH 2, where the '>' denotes the two bonds. This stands in contrast to a situation where the carbon atom is bound to the rest of the molecule by a double bond, which is preferably called a methylidene group, represented =CH 2. [2] Formerly the methylene name was used for both isomers.
The oxidation of a methyl group occurs widely in nature and industry. The oxidation products derived from methyl are hydroxymethyl group −CH 2 OH, formyl group −CHO, and carboxyl group −COOH. For example, permanganate often converts a methyl group to a carboxyl (−COOH) group, e.g. the conversion of toluene to benzoic acid.
A similar process can also be used to prevent self-condensation between two ketones. In this case, however, the base used needs to be more powerful. A common base used is Lithium diisopropyl amide (LDA). Here it is used in order to perform the crossed condensation between acetone and cyclohexanone. [3]
3,3-Dimethylhexane is a colourless, odourless liquid, chemical compound in the family of hydrocarbons which has a formula of C 8 H 18. It is an isomer of octane , where two methylene hydrogens at the third position in a hexane molecule have been replaced with two methyl groups.
(C 6 H 5) 3 CCl + 2 Na → (C 6 H 5) 3 CNa + NaCl. The use of tritylsodium as a strong, non-nucleophilic base has been eclipsed by the popularization of butyllithium and related strong bases. The unmodified anion is red, and can be used as an indicator in acid–base titrations. Derived substances have proven useful as chemical dyes.
