Alkanes

2,4-Dimethylpentane is an alkane with the chemical formula [(H3C)2CH]2CH2. This colorless hydrocarbon is produced in large quantities in oil refineries. It results from the alkylation of isobutane by propylene. Often referred to as "alkylate", it is blended with other gasoline components to give a high octane fuel. Unlike n-heptane, 2,4-dimethylpentane is a desirable fuel because its branched structure allows combustion without knocking.

thumb|the chemical structure shows it is a branched-chain alkane with the molecular formula C10H22. Its consists of a nine-carbon straight chain (nonane) with a [[methyl group (-CH3) attached to the second carbon atom.]]

3,3-Dimethylhexane is a colourless, odourless liquid, chemical compound in the family of hydrocarbons which has a formula of C8H18. It is an isomer of octane, where two methylene hydrogens at the third position in a hexane molecule have been replaced with two methyl groups.
