Henkels,

This table gives a listing of the formula, structure, melting point, boiling point, density, vapor pressure, octane rating without (and sometimes with) lead additive, and production procedure for several isoparaffins (branched paraffins). The substance included 2-methylbutane (isopentane), 2,2-dimethylpropane (neopentane), 2,2-dimethylbutane (neohexane), 2,3-dimethylbutane, 2,2-dimetnylpentane, 3,3-dimethylpentane, 2,3-dimethylpentane, 2,4-dimethylpentane, 2,2,3-trimethylbutane (Triptan), 2,2,3-trimethylpentane, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (iso-octane), 2,3,3-trimethylpentane, 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane, 3-methyl-3-ethylpentane, 2,2,4,4-tetramethylpentane, 3,3,4,4-tetramethylhexane, and 2,4,4,6,6-pentamethylheptane (isododecane). The substances in the list which were said to have octane number of 100 or more without addition of lead were Triptan (101 or more), 2,2,3-trimethylpentane (100.2), iso-octane (100), 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane (103), and isododecane (100). The various methods of production given in the table included (1) chlorination of a ketone, followed by conversion (involving rearrangement) of the chlorinated substance to an acid, and subsequent hyrogenation, (2) alkylation processes of condensation of a paraffin with an olefin, (3) hydrogenation of a ketone or an olefin, (4) polymerization of an olefin, (5) isomerization of a paraffin, and (6) condensation of two molecules of an alkyl magnesium bromide with iodine. 1 table, 1 graph.
