Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Heptane
DescriptionN-Heptane, also known as CH3-[CH2]5-CH3 or heptan, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2 , and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Thus, N-heptane is considered to be a hydrocarbon. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on N-Heptane.
