CAS 109-66-0 Pentane - Formula

Molecular Formula: C5​H12​

Molecular Weight: 72.15 g/mol

Structural Formula: CH3​−CH2​−CH2​−CH2​−CH3​

Key Structural Feature: As a normal alkane, n-pentane has an unbranched, linear carbon chain. This differentiates it from its branched isomers (isopentane, neopentane) that fall under the broader "pentane" category.

CAS Number: 109-66-0

 

CAS 109-66-0 Pentane - Properties

CAS 109-66-0 Pentane - Uses

Synthetic rubber production: N-Pentane C5H12 is a key monomer for manufacturing styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) and styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymers, used in tires, adhesives, and sealants.

 

Chemical intermediate: Converted into pentanols, pentanones, and other oxygenated organic compounds, which are used as solvents, plasticizers, and raw materials for pharmaceuticals.

 

Polymerization: Pentane CAS 109-66-0 is used in the production of low-molecular-weight polyolefins, which serve as lubricant additives and viscosity modifiers.

 

Fuel additive: Improves gasoline's octane rating and combustion efficiency; also used as a blending component for jet fuel.

 

Laboratory reagent: Utilized in organic synthesis to introduce pentyl groups into target molecules.
