Description

Neopentane is a branched-chain alkane with the formula C5H12, also known as 2,2-dimethylpropane. It is a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature and is highly flammable. Neopentane is a highly symmetrical molecule, which makes it an interesting subject for studying chemical reactions and bonding.
It is typically synthesized through the reaction of tert-butyl chloride with methyl lithium.
Neopentane itself has limited practical applications, but it is an important starting material in organic synthesis. It is also used as a refrigerant and a propellant.
Neopentane is studied to understand the relationship between molecular structure and physical properties, as well as to develop new catalysts and reaction pathways.'
