Usage

General Description

3,4-Dimethylhexane is a saturated hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C8H18. It is a colorless liquid with a faint hydrocarbon odor, and is insoluble in water. 3,4-Dimethylhexane is mainly used as a solvent and as a raw material in the production of dyes and perfumes. It is also used as a component in fuel blends due to its high octane rating. In addition, it is used in the manufacture of plastics, rubbers, and other chemical products. 3,4-Dimethylhexane is flammable and should be handled with care in a well-ventilated area.

Production of cellulosic gasoline: Via levulinic ester self-condensation

Most biomass to biofuel processes are limited to the production of linear or minimally branched hydrocarbons. Motor gasoline, however, consists of highly branched linear and/or cyclic alkanes. This work describes the optimization of the levulinic ester self-condensation reaction and the efficient conversion of its products, which are highly branched cyclopentadienes, into a mixture of substituted cyclopentanes with high octane ratings and excellent density and flow properties.

Copper-catalyzed oxidative homo- and cross-coupling of grignard reagents using diaziridinone

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are among the most powerful synthetic transformations. This paper describes an efficient copper-catalyzed homo- and cross-coupling of Grignard reagents with di-tert-butyldiaziridinone as oxidant under mild conditions, giving the coupling products in good to excellent yields. The reaction process has a broad substrate scope and is also effective for the C(sp)-C(sp3) coupling.
