N-PROPYLCYCLOPENTANE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Clear, colorless, mobile, flammable liquid with an ether-like odor

Uses

n-Propylcyclopentane, is one of the chemical composition of Gas-Phase organic carbon emissions from motor vehicle.

Synthesis Reference(s)

The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 48, p. 546, 1983 DOI: 10.1021/jo00152a026

Environmental Fate

Chemical/Physical. Complete combustion in air produces carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Propylcyclopentane will not hydrolyze because it does not contain a hydrolyzable functional group (Kollig, 1993).
