Definition of heptane in English:

heptane

noun ˈhɛpteɪnˈhɛpˌteɪn

Chemistry

A colourless liquid hydrocarbon of the alkane series, present in petroleum spirit.
〔化〕庚烷
Chemical formula: C₇H₁₆; several isomers, especially the straight-chain isomer (n-heptane)
Example sentencesExamples
- Dehydrogenation is the commercial process for preparing toluene from heptane as given above.
- Stereochemical isomers are also possible with the alkanes, beginning with heptane.
- The reactants and the catalyst remained in the heptane layer, which was recycled by adding additional acylating agent and fresh aqueous ethanol.
- The extent of shift from nonpolar solvent heptane to polar solvent methanol increases with increase in the conjugation in the compound.
- They are rated based on their ability to resist knocking against a standard mixture of two hydrocarbons, isooctane and heptane.

Origin

Late 19th century: from hepta- 'seven' (denoting seven carbon atoms) + -ane².
