Introduction
3-Methylpentane. The following is an introduction to its nature, use, manufacturing method and safety information:Quality:- Appearance: 3-Methylpentane is a colorless liquid.- Solubility: It is less soluble in water but miscible with organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, and ketones.Use:- Solvents: Due to its good solubility, 3-methylpentane is often used as an organic solvent, especially in industries such as coatings, cleaners and adhesives.- Fuel additive: It can also be used as an additive for gasoline and LPG to improve the deflagration resistance of the fuel.Method:- Industrial production: 3-methylpentane can be prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of 2-methylbutanol (isoamyl alcohol) and hydrogen.- Laboratory synthesis: In the laboratory, 3-methylpentane can be obtained by the addition reaction of methyl iodide and 2-pentene (butene).Safety Information:- 3-Methylpentane is a flammable liquid, and its vapor can form a combustible mixture.- Must be stored away from heat sources and open flames, and in well-ventilated conditions.- May cause irritation after contact with the skin, avoid skin contact and wear appropriate protective equipment.- Avoid inhaling its vapors and use respirator protection if necessary.- Comply with local regulations and operational safety guidelines during use. If inhaled or ingested, seek medical attention immediately.
