| | Cyclopentane Usage And Synthesis |
| Physical and chemical properties | Cyclopentane, also known as "pentamethylene", is a kind of cycloalkane with the formula of C5H10. It has a molecular weight of 70.13. It exists as a kind of flammable liquid. It has a melting point-94.4 °C, boiling point of 49.3 °C, relative density of 0.7460 and the refractive index of 1.4068. It is soluble in alcohol, ether and hydrocarbons and is not soluble in water. Cyclopentane is not a planar ring and has two conformations: envelope conformations and semi-chair conformations. The carbon-carbon-carbon bond angle is close to 109 ° 28 ' with the molecular tension not big and the ring being relatively stable. It has a similar chemical property as alkanes. The lethal concentration in the air for the rats was 3.8 × 10-2. It exhibits red yellow color when having reaction with fuming sulfuric acid while generating nitro cyclopentane and glutaric acid through reaction with nitric acid. Method: it can be obtained from the petroleum ether distillate, through high-pressure cracking on the cyclohexane in the presence of aluminum or catalytic hydrogenation of cyclopentene and cyclopentadiene. Purposes: mainly used as a solvent.
Figure 1 the cyclopentane structure. | | Cycloalkane | Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons in which the carbon atoms in the molecule are arranged in a ring and a sufficient number of hydrogen atoms are combined. Cycloalkanes presented in petroleum are mainly cyclopentane and cyclohexane.
Cycloalkanes have a higher melting point, boiling point, and relative density than the corresponding straight-chain alkanes. We can use the naphthenic aromatic crude oil to produce high-octane straight-run gasoline with its anti-explosion being better than normal paraffin. Low sulfur-containing paraffin naphthenic crude oil, is not only easy to process, but also an excellent raw material for the production of advanced lubricants. Petroleum containing relative many polycyclic long side chain naphthenic compounds is an ideal material for high-quality lubricants.
At room temperature and atmospheric pressure, cycloalkane containing four or less carbon atoms is in the gas form with those contain more than four carbons existing in the liquid form. The cyclopropane and cyclobutane appear as gas, cyclopentane to cycloundecane appears as liquid; cyclododecane and above appears as solid.
The chemical nature of the cycloalkane is related to the number of carbon atoms forming the ring. It is referred three-membered ring and four-membered ring, as small ring; the five-to-seven-membered ring as normal ring; the eight-eleven ring as normal ring; the twelve-membered ring and above as large ring. The nuclei lines of carbon nuclei in small rings are not consistent with the axis of bonding orbital. In cyclopropane, the ring formed by the nucleus lines of carbon atoms is an equilateral triangle with each angle being 60° while the angle of the sp3 hybrid orbital axis of carbon-carbon single bonds formed by each carbon 104° (see figure 2 below). Therefore, the orbit has failed to achieve the greatest degree of overlap, causing a large angle tension. Cyclobutane also has angular tension, but being smaller. This leads to the poor stability of the small ring, causing its similar chemical property to olefins that can have ring-opening addition reaction with many reagents. Other ring has less of no angular tension. Cycloalkane and alkanes have similar chemical properties, less prone to have ring-opening reaction such as having reaction with hydrogen. Cyclohexane and higher cycloalkane is more difficult to undergo hydrogenation.
Figure 2 is a schematic representation of sp3 hybridization orbital overlap in cyclopropane.
Cyclopropane (at room temperature) and cyclobutane (at the heating conditions) can have addition reaction with halogen and hydrogen halide.
The open-loop occurs between the two atoms connecting the most and least numbers of hydrogen. The addition satisfies the Markovian rule. While the normal ring, under the stimulation of the light or heat can have substitution reaction with the halogen.
At room temperature, cycloalkane can’t be oxidized by potassium permanganate.
Cyclopentane, cyclohexane and its alkyl substituted products are presented in certain petroleum oils. Cycloalkanes may also be synthesized by suitable methods, such as dihaloalkane cyclization and hydrogenation of aromatic hydrocarbons.

Harley et al. (2000)
analyzed the headspace vapors of three grades of unleaded gasoline where ethanol was added to replace methyl tert-butyl ether. Cyclopentane was detected at an identical concentration of 1.4 wt
% in the headspace vapors for regular, mid-, and premium grades.
Schauer et al. (1999) reported cyclopentane in a diesel-powered medium-duty truck exhaust at
an emission rate of 410 μg/km.
California Phase II reformulated gasoline contained cyclopentane at a concentration of 4.11
g/kg. Gas-phase tailpipe emission rates from gasoline-powered automobiles with and without
catalytic converters were 0.78 and 85.4 mg/km, respectively (Schauer et al., 2002). | | Environmental fate | Biological. Cyclopentane may be oxidized by microbes to cyclopentanol, which may oxidize to
cyclopentanone (Dugan, 1972).
Photolytic. The following rate constants were reported for the reaction of octane and OH
radicals in the atmosphere: 3.7 x 10-12 cm3/molecule?sec at 300 K (Hendry and Kenley, 1979); 5.40
x 10-12 cm3/molecule?sec (Atkinson, 1979); 4.83 x 10-12 cm3/molecule?sec at 298 K (DeMore and
Bayes, 1999); 6.20 x 10-12, 5.24 x 10-12, and 4.43 x 10-12 cm3/molecule?sec at 298, 299, and 300 K,

x 10-12 cm3/mol·sec at 295 K (Droege and Tilly, 1987).
Chemical/Physical. Cyclopentane will not hydrolyze because it has no hydrolyzable functional
group. Complete combustion in air yields carbon dioxide and water.
At elevated temperatures, rupture of the ring occurs forming ethylene and presumably allene
and hydrogen (Rice and Murphy, 1942). | | storage | Color Code—Red: Flammability Hazard: Store ina flammable liquid storage area or approved cabinet awayfrom ignition sources and corrosive and reactive materials.Prior to working with cyclopentane you should be trainedon its proper handling and storage.
