2,3-Dimethylpentane
2,3-Dimethylpentane is an organic compound of carbon and hydrogen with formula C7H16, more precisely CH3–CH(CH3)–CH(CH3)–CH2–CH3: a molecule of pentane with methyl groups –CH3 replacing hydrogen atoms on carbon atoms 2 and 3. It is an alkane ("paraffin" in older nomenclature), a fully saturated hydrocarbon; specifically, one of the isomers of heptane.
Like typical alkanes, it is a colorless flammable compound; under common ambient conditions, it is a mobile liquid, less dense than water.2,3-Dimethylpentane is notable for being one of the two simplest alkanes with optical (enantiomeric) isomerism. The optical center is the middle carbon of the pentane backbone, which is connected to one hydrogen atom, one methyl group, one ethyl group –C2H5, and one isopropyl group –CH(CH3)2. The two enantiomers are denoted (3R)-2,3-dimethylpentane and (3S)-2,3-dimethylpentane. (The other simplest chiral alkane is its structural isomer 3-methylhexane.)
