Isocetane

Chemical compound

Isocetane (2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane) is a highly branched alkane used as a reference in determining the cetane number of diesel. It has a cetane number of 15. Isocetane replaced 1-methylnaphthalene in 1962 as the lower reference for cetane number owing to the oxidation instability and difficulty of use of 1-methylnaphthalene in the reference engine.
