Iso-Hexane, also known as 2-methylpentane, is a branched-chain hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C6H14. It is a colourless liquid with a boiling point of approximately 60°C and a flash point of -15°C, making it highly flammable.

Iso-Hexane is a structural isomer of n-Hexane, which is a straight-chain hydrocarbon with the same molecular formula. As a result, Iso-Hexane has different physical and chemical properties than n-Hexane. For example, Iso-Hexane is more volatile than n-Hexane, meaning it evaporates more quickly.

Iso-Hexane is commonly used as a solvent in a variety of industrial applications, such as in the extraction of vegetable oils from crops like soybeans, corn, and peanuts. It is also used as a solvent in the production of adhesives, coatings, and other industrial products.

In addition to its industrial uses, Iso-Hexane is also used as a laboratory reagent for organic synthesis and other chemical reactions. It is often used as a reference compound in gas chromatography, where it is used to identify and quantify other hydrocarbons in complex mixtures.

However, it is important to note that Iso-Hexane is a highly flammable and volatile substance, and proper safety precautions should be taken when handling and storing it. Prolonged exposure to Iso-Hexane vapours can also cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, so appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.
