Organic compounds alkanes

Strong oxidizers and strong acids are incompatible with nikanolamines. Reactions, generating temperature and/or pressure increases, may occur with halogenated organic compounds. Alkan olamines are corrosive to copper and brass and may react. Contact with aluminum by alkan olamines, particularly when wet or at elevated temperatures (60°C), should be avoided.

Aldehydes do not co-oxidize alkanes due to a huge difference in the reactivity of these two classes of organic compounds. Alkanes are almost inert to oxidation at room temperature and can be treated as inert solvents toward oxidized aldehydes [35]. Olefins and alkylaromatic hydrocarbons are co-oxidized with aldehydes. The addition of alkylaromatic hydrocarbon (R2H) to benzaldehyde (R1H) retards the rate of the initiated oxidation [36-39]. The rate of co-oxidation obeys the equation [37] ...

Also known as paraffins, alkanes are the simplest of the organic compounds. Alkanes are characterized by carbon-carbon single bonds. Thus, alkanes are the carbon backbone for other functional groups. Methane (CH4) is the simplest alkane. Ethane, CH3-CH3 is the next member of the alkane family. There are several ways we can represent ethane. 

The underlying cause of isomerism was disclosed only after the structure theory was produced. Owing to the work of Butlerov and his followers the isomers of various classes of organic compounds, alkanes, olefins, alcohols, etc., were investigated. In 1867 the German chemist W. Korner, a student of A. Kekule, introduced the terms ortho-, meta-, and para-isomer for disubstituted derivatives of benzene.
