2,3,4-Trimethylpentane (Cat No.:R069148) is a branched-chain alkane hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C8H18. Commonly known as iso-octane, it is used as a reference standard in the octane rating scale for measuring the performance of gasoline. Iso-octane has a high resistance to knocking or detonation in internal combustion engines, making it a valuable component in gasoline blends to improve engine efficiency and reduce emissions. Its structure includes three methyl groups attached to the third, fourth, and fifth carbon atoms of a pentane chain, leading to its unique properties as a high-octane fuel additive.
