2-Methyloctadecane（Cat No.:M047702） is a branched alkane with the molecular formula C19H40. It consists of an octadecane backbone—a straight chain of 18 carbon atoms—with a methyl group attached to the second carbon, giving it a slight branch. This structural feature increases its molecular complexity compared to its straight-chain counterparts, affecting its physical properties like boiling point and solubility. 2-Methyloctadecane is primarily used in the study of hydrocarbon behavior and properties in different environments and can serve as a component in specialized lubricants and fuels due to its stable hydrophobic nature.
