1560-93-6 - Introduction
2-METHYLPENTADECANE (2-METHYLPENTADECANE) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C16H34. The following is a description of its nature, use, preparation and safety information:
Nature:
2-METHYLPENTADECANE is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a special alkane odor. It is a hydrophobic compound, not easily soluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents, such as benzene, toluene and dichloromethane. It has a high density and a relatively high melting point and boiling point.
Use:
2-METHYLPENTADECANE is mainly used as a fuel additive, which can increase the sublimation properties and thickening effect of the fuel. It can also be used to synthesize lubricating oils and lubricating additives to improve the lubricating properties of oils. In addition, it can also be used in organic synthesis, as a reagent and raw material.
Method:
2-METHYLPENTADECANE is mainly obtained by petrochemical process. It can be produced by the reaction of ethylene with isooctane, where the ethylene undergoes hydrogenation, isomerization, and skeletal expansion reactions to produce 2-METHYLPENTADECANE. The specific process steps and conditions may vary by manufacturer and production process.
Safety Information:
2-METHYLPENTADECANE has low toxicity and belongs to general industrial health protection level. During use and operation, care should be taken to avoid skin contact and inhalation. If contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Fire and high temperatures should be avoided during handling and storage to prevent fire and explosion hazards.
