Heptane or n-heptane is the straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula H 3 C(CH 2) 5 CH 3 or C 7 H 16. When used as a test fuel component in anti-knock test engines, a 100% heptane fuel is the zero point of the octane rating scale (the 100 point is 100% iso-octane ).
It is an heptane molecule with a methyl group attached to its second atom. It is a flammable colorless liquid used as fuel. [2] If the standard definition of the prefix "iso-" is strictly used then 2-methylheptane can be called "Isooctane". However this name is usually used for another much more important isomer of octane 2,2,4-trimethylpentane ...
Norbornane (also known as bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) is an organic compound and a saturated hydrocarbon with chemical formula C 7 H 12. It is a crystalline compound with a melting point of 88 °C . The carbon skeleton is derived from cyclohexane ring with a methylene bridge in the 1,4- position, and is a bridged bicyclic compound.
Higher alkanes are naturally present in crude oil and can be obtained via fractional distillation.Saturated fatty acids decarboxylate to higher alkanes. Long olefins can be hydrogenated to yield higher alkanes. n-alkanes can be isolated via the formation of urea clathrates.They can also be synthesized through Kolbe electrolysis or other coupling reactions like the Wurtz reaction.

Therefore, even though it is present in many commercially available heptane products, it is not considered as a destructive impurity, as heptane is usually used as a solvent. Nevertheless, by concise processes of distillation and refining , it is possible to separate 2-methylhexane from n-heptane.
2,2,4-Trimethylpentane, also known as isooctane or iso-octane, is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 3 CCH 2 CH(CH 3) 2.It is one of several isomers of octane (C 8 H 18).This particular isomer is the standard 100 point on the octane rating scale (the zero point is n-heptane).
