Alkanes [Non-Heterocyclic Building Blocks] — contains straight-chain, branched, and cyclic saturated hydrocarbons, ranging from cycloheptane to long chains such as tetratriacontane, without reactive functional groups. This group of alkanes serves as nonpolar solvents, calibration standards, and model hydrocarbon structures in various physical and analytical chemistry research.
Alkanes are used by analytical and physical chemistry researchers as reference standards in gas chromatography for determining retention indices, as inert solvents in water-free reactions, and as molecular models in studies of thermodynamics and physical properties of hydrocarbons. Cycloalkanes and long-chain alkanes are also used in research on wax materials, synthetic lubricating oils, and characterization of the crystallinity of saturated hydrocarbons.
