General Description

2,3,5-Trimethylhexane is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H20. It is a saturated hydrocarbon belonging to the alkane family, and is also known as iso-octane. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a gasoline-like odor. 2,3,5-Trimethylhexane is commonly used as a reference standard to measure the octane rating of gasoline. It is also used as a solvent and as a component in high-octane gasoline blends to improve engine performance and reduce knocking. Additionally, it is used in the production of organic chemicals and pharmaceuticals. However, it is important to handle 2,3,5-trimethylhexane with care as it is highly flammable and poses a fire hazard.

A solvent effect in reactions of singlet methylene

The effect of several solvents on the selectivity of singlet methylene (1:CH2) was investigated. It was found that product ratios from reactions in pentane, ethyl ether and cyclohexene solutions were identical; however, product ratios from reactions carried out in benzene were slightly different.

GAS-TO-GAS REACTOR AND METHOD OF USING

A device and a process to propagate molecular growth of hydrocarbons, either straight or branched chain structures, that naturally occur in the gas phase of a first gas to gas phase molecules of a second gas having higher molecular chain lengths than the hydrocarbons of the first gas. According to one embodiment, the device includes a grounded reactor vessel having a gas inlet, a product outlet, and an electrode within the vessel; a power supply coupled to the electrode for creating an electrostatic field within the vessel for converting the first gas to a second gas.

Alkene oligomerization process

A process for oligomerising alkenes having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms which comprises contacting a feedstock comprising a) one or several alkenes having x carbon atoms, and, b) optionally, one or several alkenes having y carbon atoms, x and y being different, with a catalyst containing a zeolite of the MFS structure type, under conditions to obtain selectively oligomeric product containing predominant amounts of certain oligomers. The process is carried out at a temperature comprised between 125 and 175° C. when the feedstock contains only alkenes with 3 carbon atoms and between 140 and 240° C., preferably between 140 and 200° C. when the feedstock contains comprises at least one alkene with 4 or more carbon atoms.
