| Application: | Hexane can be used: • As a solvent for the extraction of oil, wax, and fat. • As a non-polar solvent in chromatographic applications for product separation and purification. It is also used in the preparation of organolithium reagents because it cannot be easily deprotonated. |
| General description: | Hexane is an unbranched alkane that exists in five structural isomeric forms, i.e. hexane, isohexane, 3-methylpentane, neohexane, and 2,3-dimethylbutane. It can be obtained from petroleum by distillation. |
