2,3,4-trimethylpentane is one of the
cleanest burning
octanes (compounds including eight
carbons). It is commonly found in
gasoline, which one finds
useful when powering a
vehicle such as a
car. It should be noted that 2,3,4-trimethylpentane, like any octane, should not be
orally consumed. The
combustion is highly
exothermic, being a
fuel.
