2,2,4,4,6,8,8-Heptamethylnonane

Iso-cetane serves multiple applications beyond its role as a cetane number reference:

• Fuel Standards: Used as a benchmark for evaluating diesel fuel quality.
• Research: Employed in combustion studies and kinetic modeling due to its predictable reaction behavior.
• Hydrophobic Coatings: Can be utilized in plasma polymerization processes to create hydrophobic surfaces.

While iso-cetane is primarily studied for its combustion properties, it has also been investigated for its biochemical interactions. Research indicates that it influences cell surface hydrophobicity and cellular processes in certain microorganisms. For example, studies have shown that iso-cetane can affect the cellular metabolism and gene expression of bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas putida, particularly in the context of hydrocarbon degradation.

• Modifies cell surface hydrophobicity
• Alters cell signaling pathways
• Influences gene expression
