C15H32 212.41 CAS RN®: 629-62-9.-Colorless liquid.
Assay: Inject an appropriate specimen into a gas chromatograph (see Chromatography (621)) equipped with a flame-ionization detector, helium being used as the carrier gas. The following conditions have been found suitable: a 0.25-mm x 30-m capillary column coated with a 1-µm layer of phase G2; the injection port temperature is maintained at 280°; the detector temperature is maintained at 300°; and the column temperature is maintained at 180° and programmed to rise 10° per minute to 280°. The area of the C15H32 peak is not less than 99% of the total peak area.
REFRACTIVE INDEX (831): between 1.430 and 1.434 at 20°.
