N-Pentane 2.5L CP Grade
Pentane, a linear aliphatic hydrocarbon, is one of the main constituents of light straight-run (LSR) gasoline fraction in crude oils.
Its isomerization can improve the octane number of gasoline.
This has led to the development of a number of metal catalysts, which can effectively isomerize n-pentane to iso-pentane.
Pentane may be used as a solvent in the preparation of tetraethynyl silane from tetrakis((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)silane.
