Octane（Cat No.:R014662）is a straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C₈H₁₈. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with low reactivity and is a major component of gasoline. Octane is best known for its role in the octane rating system, which measures a fuel’s ability to resist engine knocking during combustion. Higher octane numbers indicate greater resistance and improved engine performance. While chemically inert under standard conditions, octane can undergo combustion, halogenation, and cracking. It is also used as a solvent and reference compound in fuel performance and petrochemical applications.
