Description

Application
It serves as the standard reference fuel with an octane rating of 100 for measuring gasoline quality used as a solvent in chemical analysis (HPLC GC) calibrant in spectroscopy and high-purity component in specialty fuels and polymerizations.

Purpose
Isooctanes highly branched structure provides exceptional resistance to autoignition (high octane number) making it ideal for defining fuel performance standards and as a non-polar solvent that dissolves hydrocarbons but not water-soluble compounds.

General Description
Isooctane systematically named 224-trimethylpentane is a branched-chain alkane hydrocarbon with the molecular formula CH (MW 114.23 gmol CAS 540-84-1) featuring a pentane backbone with methyl groups at positions 22 and 4 appearing as a clear colorless liquid with a gasoline-like odor boiling point 99.3C melting point -107.4C density 0.692 gmL at 20C and refractive index 1.391.
