3,3-Dimethylhexane is a colourless, odourless liquid, chemical compound in the family of hydrocarbons which has a formula of C8H18. It is an isomer of octane, where two methylene hydrogens at the third position in a hexane molecule have been replaced with two methyl groups. [2] [3] [4] [5]

3,3-Dimethylhexane is found in various herbs and spices. It is also a constituent in the oil of osmanthus fragrans and Ginseng. 3,3-Dimethylhexane is an acyclic alkane, where there are no cycles in the structure of the molecule. [6]

It is one of the main extracts from cinnamon bark using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, with it being 10.6% of the extracted material; it is second behind trans-cinnamaldehyde with it being 32.1% of the extracted material. [7]

Uses

3,3-dimethylhexane can be used in the production of phytochemical compounds which are effective in the removal of heavy metals, since when cyanobacteria are exposed to aliphatic compounds, or alkanes, and some heavy metals they produce phytochemical compounds which are effective in the removal of heavy metals. 3,3-dimethylhexane being both an alkane and an aliphatic compound can be used in this process.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lawsone</span> Chemical compound

Lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), also known as hennotannic acid, is a red-orange dye present in the leaves of the henna plant, for which it is named, as well as in the common walnut and water hyacinth. Humans have used henna extracts containing lawsone as hair and skin dyes for more than 5,000 years. Lawsone reacts chemically with the protein keratin in skin and hair via a Michael addition reaction, resulting in a strong permanent stain that lasts until the skin or hair is shed. Darker colored staining is due to more lawsone–keratin interactions occurring, which evidently break down as the concentration of lawsone decreases and the tattoo fades. Lawsone strongly absorbs UV light, and aqueous extracts can be effective sunless tanning agents and sunscreens. Lawsone is a 1,4-naphthoquinone derivative, an analog of hydroxyquinone containing one additional ring.
