Isoheptyl

Isoheptyl is a straight-chain, saturated hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C7H16. It is an isomer of heptane, with the same molecular formula but a different structural arrangement. Isoheptyl is a colorless, flammable liquid at room temperature, with a boiling point of approximately 120°C. It is commonly used as a solvent in various industrial applications, including as a component in fuels, lubricants, and cleaning agents. Due to its solubility in both water and organic solvents, isoheptyl is also used in the formulation of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Its chemical properties make it a valuable compound in the chemical industry, where it is used in the synthesis of other chemicals and as a reagent in various reactions. However, like other hydrocarbons, isoheptyl is flammable and should be handled with care to prevent fire and explosion hazards.
