11dioxide

11dioxide, also known as undecadioxidane, is a hypothetical organic compound with the molecular formula C11H22O2. It is a member of the alkanes, specifically a straight-chain alkane with two oxygen atoms attached to the carbon backbone. The compound is not known to exist in nature or be synthesized in the laboratory, as it is not stable under normal conditions and would likely decompose rapidly.

The structure of 11dioxide consists of an undecane (C11H24) backbone with two oxygen atoms attached to the second and ninth carbon atoms, respectively. The presence of the oxygen atoms introduces additional reactivity and potential for oxidation, which would likely lead to the decomposition of the molecule.

The hypothetical properties of 11dioxide would include a molar mass of approximately 178.31 g/mol, a boiling point higher than that of undecane due to the increased polarity from the oxygen atoms, and a melting point lower than that of undecane due to the disruption of the alkane's crystal structure by the oxygen atoms.

The potential uses of 11dioxide, if it could be synthesized, would be limited due to its instability and potential for rapid decomposition. However, it could potentially serve as a precursor for the synthesis of other organic compounds or as a model system for studying the effects of oxygen atoms on the properties of alkanes.
