2,2,4-Trimethylpentane, also known as isooctane or iso-octane, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H18. It is a colorless liquid with a strong gasoline-like odor. At room temperature it is quite volatile, with a vapor pressure of 19.2 kPa.
Isooctane is a saturated hydrocarbon, which is composed of eight carbon atoms in a straight chain. It is an isomer of octane, a branched chain hydrocarbon. Isooctane is an important component of motor fuels and is commonly used as a reference fuel in the octane rating scale.
Isooctane is used as a solvent for many industrial coatings and dyes, and it is also used as a raw material for the synthesis of a number of derivatives, including additives for lubricants and fuels. It is also used as a raw material for the manufacture of hydrocarbon resins and alkyd resins.
Isooctane is also used as an anti-knock agent in motor fuels, as it has a high octane rating. This helps to reduce engine knock, which is a type of combustion noise that occurs when the fuel in the combustion chamber burns too rapidly.
Isooctane is produced commercially by the catalytic reforming of petroleum fractions. It is also produced by the distillation of crude oil. The main commercial producers of isooctane are ExxonMobil and Phillips 66.
Isooctane has a chemical formula of C8H18 and a molecular weight of 114.23 g/mol. Its CAS registry number is 20765-98-4. Isooctane is a highly flammable liquid and should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
