Cyclopentane is a highly
flammable alicyclic hydrocarbon with
chemical formula 510 and
CAS number 287-92-3, consisting of a ring of five
carbon atoms each bonded with two
hydrogen atoms above and below the plane. It occurs as a colorless
liquid with a
petrol-like
odor. Its
melting point is −94 °C and its
boiling point is 49 °C.
Industrial usage
Cyclopentane is used in the manufacture of
synthetic resins and
rubber adhesives. The
United States produces more than half a million
kilograms of this chemical per year.
Formulation of cycloalkanes
Cycloalkanes can be formulated via a process known as catalytic reforming.
For example, 2-methlybutane can be reformed into cyclopentane, by use of a platinum catalyst. This is particulary well known in automobiles, as branched alkanes will burn much more readily
