Its consists of a nine-carbon straight chain (nonane) with a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the second carbon atom. 2-Methylnonane (or isodecane) makes a significant portion of fuels like petrol as a fuel additive, making it essential for energy production.2-Methylnonane | Solubility of Things https://www.solubilityofthings.com/2-methylnonane It is useful for various applications in organic chemistry as it easily dissolves in non-polar solvents such as hexane and benzene. Its physical state is liquid and appears colorless. It smells of petroleum distillates. May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. It is a category 3 flammable liquid and has a category 1 aspiration toxicity. 2-Methylnonane is insoluble and floats on water and evaporates slowly.https://assets.thermofisher.com/DirectWebViewer/private/document.aspx?prd=ALFAAB20849~~PDF~~MTR~~CGV4~~EN~~2025-09-25%2004:34:58~~2-Methylnonane~~ 2-Methylnonane Thermo Fisher Scientific 2-Methylnonane is achiral as it lacks a chiral center; that is, it is an asymmetrical molecule and it cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. It represents the first among the four monomethyl nonane isomers.GSRS https://precision.fda.gov/ginas/app/ui/substances/6325d322-6a98-4a2e-bd2b-068a99eae398 precisionFDA Wang Zhandong Hansen Nils Jasper Ahren W.
