What is 3-METHYLHEPTANE?
Chemical properties
Colorless liquid.
Physical properties
Colorless, flammable liquid with an odor resembling hexane. An odor threshold concentration of 1.5 ppmv was reported by Nagata and Takeuchi (1990).
The Uses of 3-METHYLHEPTANE
Calibration, organic synthesis.
Definition
ChEBI: 3-Methylheptane is an alkane.
Hazard
Flammable, dangerous fire risk.
Environmental Fate
Photolytic. Based on a photooxidation rate constant of 8.90 x 10-12 cm3/molecule?sec for the
reaction of 3-methylheptane and OH radicals, the estimated lifetime is 16 h during summer
sunlight (Altshuller, 1991).
Chemical/Physical. Complete combustion in air produces carbon dioxide and water vapor. 3-
Methylheptane will not hydrolyze because it does not contain a hydrolyzable functional group.
Solubility in organics
In methanol, g/L: 154 at 5 °C, 170 at 10 °C, 190 at 15 °C, 212 at 20 °C, 242 at 25 °C, 274 at 30 °C, 314 at 35 °C, 365 at 40 °C (Kiser et al., 1961); miscible in many liquid hydrocarbons, particularly saturated hydrocarbons.
