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.
Compared to n-heptane, 2-methylhexane also has lower melting and boiling points. A lower density of liquid is found in 2-Methylhexane than heptane. On the NFPA 704 scale, 2-methylhexane is listed as a reactivity level-0 chemical, along with various other alkanes.
The C-H stretching mode gives a strong absorptions between 2850 and 2960 cm −1 and weaker bands for the C-C stretching mode absorbs between 800 and 1300 cm −1. The carbon–hydrogen bending modes depend on the nature of the group: methyl groups show bands at 1450 cm −1 and 1375 cm −1 , while methylene groups show bands at 1465 cm −1 ...
The isomers are poisonous, pesticidal, and persistent organic pollutants, to varying degrees. Hexachlorocyclohexane was dimerized to produce mirex, a banned pesticide. Common forms are: alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane, α-HCH, or α-BHC (CAS RN: 319-84-6), the optically active isomer; beta-hexachlorocyclohexane, β-HCH, or β-BHC (CAS RN: 319-85-7)
