Description

Application
3 4-Dimethylhexane is mainly found as a component of petroleum and gasoline where its branched structure helps improve the octane rating of fuels. It is also used in organic chemistry for research and analysis of hydrocarbon structures and reactions. Additionally it may serve as a non-polar solvent in limited laboratory applications.

Purpose
For R&D

General Description
3 4-Dimethylhexane is a branched alkane. It consists of a six-carbon chain with two methyl groups attached at the third and fourth carbon atoms. As a saturated hydrocarbon it contains only single covalent bonds making it relatively stable and non-reactive. It is a non-polar colorless and volatile liquid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents and it is highly flammable like most hydrocarbons.
