Metabolite Identification
Common NameOctane
DescriptionOctane, also known as N-octane or CH3-[CH2]6-CH3, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2 , and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Thus, octane is considered to be a hydrocarbon. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Octane.
