n-Heptane is a standard for octane-rating measurements. Triptane, one of nine isomers of heptane, is used in aviation fuel. All isomers are employed in organic synthesis and are ingredients of gasoline and rubber solvent naphtha and other petroleum solvents that are used as fuels and solvents.94 Gasoline contains up to 0.01% n-heptane.84

Alkylation refers to the process typified by that in which iso-butane is added to butene to produce isooctane or triptane. Triptane is the isooctane that is the standard of 100 for octane rating. Alkylation can also be used for the addition of ethylene to benzene.

The increase in oil yield and triptane yield indicates that tertbutanol really promotes the whole reaction. It participates in the main reaction path. Although excessive tertbutanol will not participate in the main reaction pathway, it converts to byproducts, including 2,4,4-trimethy-1-pentene 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene and 3,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene, which can all be hydrogenated to provide isooctane with MON near 100 and can therefore be used as ideal components for aviation gasoline blends. Therefore, it may be used as a process for co-production of both triptane and isooctane and both of them are ideal constituents in aviation gasoline formulation.
