Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Decane
DescriptionN-Decane, also known as dekan or CH3-[CH2]8-CH3, 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-decane is considered to be a hydrocarbon. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on N-Decane.
