General Description

Heptan-2-yl is a chemical compound that belongs to the alkyl group, specifically the heptan-2-yl, also known as sec-heptyl. It is derived from heptane, which is a flammable liquid hydrocarbon commonly found in natural gas and crude oil. The prefix "heptan-2" indicates the presence of a methyl group attached to the second carbon atom in the heptane chain. heptan-2-yl is commonly used in the synthesis of various organic compounds and can be found in pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and other industrial applications. Additionally, heptan-2-yl has properties that make it a suitable intermediate for the production of other complex chemicals.

A study of alkyl radicals in the matrix of polycrystalline n-alkane γ-irradiated at 77 K 1. Effect of chain length on ESR spectra of γ-irradiated linear alkanes

The composition of alkyl radicals (AR) formed by γ-radiolysis (T= 77 K) of polycrystalline n-alkanes with different lengths of the carbon chain (C(5), C(7), C(10), C(11), and C(18)) and their polymeric analog (polyethylene) was estimated from the ESR spectra. The ESR spectra of the irradiated n-alkanes are superpositions of the signals from the H3CC?HCH2~ and -CH2C ? HCH2~ radicals, whose HFS constants with α and β protons as well as the equilibrium conformation are independent of the chain length of the n-alkane molecule. A dependence of the concentration of the radicals on the chain length of n-alkane was found. The absence of the ~CH2C ? H2 radicals that may arise upon H atom elimination from the Me fragments of the n-alkane molecules is most likely related to the transfer of excitation energy from the Me group to the neighboring methylene fragment and the transformation of the ~CH2C ? H2 radicals into H3CC ? HCH2~ radicals. With account for this, the concentrations of the AR formed were suggested to be proportional to the number of H atoms at the corresponding C atom.
