2,2-Dimethylheptane（Cat No.:M069803） is a saturated hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C9H20. It is classified as an alkane due to its carbon-carbon single bonds. The name “2,2-dimethylheptane” indicates the presence of two methyl groups (CH3) attached to the second carbon atom of a heptane chain, resulting in branching. This structural feature gives it unique properties, including a higher octane rating compared to straight-chain alkanes, making it valuable as a component in gasoline formulations to prevent engine knocking. Its synthesis typically involves controlled reactions of primary alcohols with hydrogen in the presence of a suitable catalyst, contributing to its industrial significance.
