isoktaaniin
Isoktaaniin, also known as 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, is a branched-chain alkane with the chemical formula C8H18. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is a key component of gasoline. Isoktaaniin is prized for its high octane rating, which indicates its resistance to knocking or premature detonation in an internal combustion engine. Its specific octane rating is defined as 100 on the octane scale, serving as a benchmark against which other fuels are compared.
The production of isoktaaniin primarily involves the catalytic alkylation of isobutane with isobutylene. This process is
Beyond its use in gasoline, isoktaaniin can be used as a solvent in certain laboratory applications. Its
