Usage

General Description

2,3,3-Trimethylhexane is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H20. It is a branched-chain, saturated hydrocarbon classified as an alkane. This colorless liquid is insoluble in water and is commonly used as a solvent in various industrial processes. Its primary application is as a blending component in gasoline to improve the octane rating and reduce the risk of engine knocking. It is also used as a starting material in the production of other chemicals, such as polymers and surfactants. 2,3,3-Trimethylhexane is flammable and should be handled with care in a well-ventilated environment.

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.

Chemical transformations of isopentane and isooctane in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid

The process of isopentane and isooctane activation in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (H0 = -14) has been studied by GC/MS and NMR. The results show evidence for a high reactivity of isopentane. Various mechanisms constructed using the experimental data and the results of nonempirical quantum-mechanical calculations are compared, and it is concluded that a key role in the reaction under consideration is played by the direct electrophilic attack of CF3SO3H at the C2-C3 bond of isooctane.
