General Description

2-Methylheneicosane is a type of alkane, a hydrocarbon compound, that consists of hydrogen and carbon atoms. It is typically characterized by its linear structure. As a long-chain alkane, 2-Methylheneicosane falls under the category of higher alkanes which have more than ten carbon atoms. It has a molecular formula of C22H46. 2-METHYLHENEICOSANE is less commonly found or used in comparison to shorter alkanes. Detailed properties, including its physical and chemical properties, or specific uses in industry or research are not widely available or mentioned in scientific literature. Shorter chain alkanes are often used for their combustible properties in fuel production, and while it is possible that 2-Methylheneicosane could share similar properties, this has not been explicitly stated in the literature.
