What is 2,2,4-Trimethylpentane? It is an organic compound with the formula (CH₃)₃CCH₂CH(CH₃)₂. It is one of several isomers of octane (C₈H₁₈). This particular isomer is the standard 100 point on the octane rating scale (the zero point is n-heptane). It is an important component of gasoline, frequently used in relatively large proportions (around 10%) to increase the knock resistance of fuel.

Frequent Uses

Fuel testing
The octane rating of gasoline is measured in a test engine and is defined by comparison with the mixture of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (iso-octane) and normal heptane that would have the same anti-knocking capability as the fuel under test. The percentage, by volume, of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane in that mixture is the octane number of the fuel. For example, gasoline with the same knocking characteristics as a mixture of 90% iso-octane and 10% heptane would have an octane rating of 90.

Industrial solvent
Utilised as a solvent in various manufacturing processes.

Chemical synthesis
A chemical intermediate in polymer and foam production.
