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.
