Isooctane

Japanese: イソオクタン
Isooctane

An aliphatic saturated hydrocarbon (alkane). It is a general term for all octanes other than n -octane, but in fuel it usually refers to 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. It is found in small amounts in crude oil. It can be produced by alkylating isobutane with isobutene using an acid catalyst, or by dimerizing isobutene using sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid as a catalyst and hydrogenating the resulting diisobutene (isooctene). Both methods produce small amounts of other isomers as by-products, so purification is necessary. Its structure is a branched pentane with three methyl groups. It is a colorless liquid. Melting point -107.38 °C, boiling point 99.24 °C. 0.68781. 1.38898. Soluble in ether, slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in water. It is the standard fuel (octane number = 100) for measuring the octane number, which indicates the anti-knock properties of gasoline, and is mainly used as a fuel to blend high-octane gasoline. It is also used as a solvent. [CAS 540-84-1]
