ISOHEPTANE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Isoheptane is a hydrocarbon compound commonly used in chemical production and experimental research. It is used as a component of anti-explosive materials and as an extraction solvent for the extraction of corn oil from whole germ. In addition, it is used in statistical thermodynamic studies of the isomerisation reactions of n-heptane and isoheptane^[1-3].
