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 ).
It is an heptane molecule with a methyl group attached to its second atom. It is a flammable colorless liquid used as fuel. [2] If the standard definition of the prefix "iso-" is strictly used then 2-methylheptane can be called "Isooctane". However this name is usually used for another much more important isomer of octane 2,2,4-trimethylpentane ...
Its structural formula is CH 3 CH 2 CH(CH 3)CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3. It has one stereocenter. Its refractive index is 1.398 (20 °C, D). [citation needed] References
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.
It is an alkane, and one of the many structural isomers of heptane, consisting of a five carbon chain with a two carbon branch at the middle carbon. An example of an alcohol derived from 3-ethylpentane is the tertiary alcohol 3-ethylpentan-3-ol .
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 formation of heptanal in the fractional distillation of castor oil [3] was already described in 1878. The large-scale production is based on the pyrolytic cleavage of ricinoleic acid [4] (Arkema method) and on the hydroformylation of 1-hexene with rhodium 2-ethylhexanoate as a catalyst upon addition of some 2-ethylhexanoic acid (Oxea method): [2] [5]
3-Heptanone (butyl ethyl ketone), is a seven carbon ketone.It is a colorless liquid with a "green odor," also described to have a fruity scent. It is often used as a perfume/fragrance, as a solvent for cellulose, nitrocellulose, or vinyl resins, and as a synthetic building block in the preparation of other organic molecules.
