2,2,3-Trimethylpentane is an organic compound classified as an alkane, specifically a branched-chain hydrocarbon. Its molecular formula is C8H18, indicating it consists of eight carbon atoms and eighteen hydrogen atoms. This compound is characterized by its structure, which features three methyl groups attached to a pentane backbone, resulting in a highly branched configuration. 2,2,3-Trimethylpentane is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its relatively low boiling point compared to straight-chain alkanes of similar molecular weight. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as a solvent and in fuel formulations. The compound is also notable for its high octane rating, which makes it a valuable additive in gasoline to improve engine performance and reduce knocking. Additionally, it is relatively stable under standard conditions but can participate in combustion reactions, producing carbon dioxide and water. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it is flammable and may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
