How it is made

Hydrogenation of 1-nonene

Nonane is obtained from the fractional distillation or refining of petroleum.

N-Alkanes having more than six carbon atoms are not isolated individually but as mixtures of several homologues. Suitable sources are the appropriate petroleum distillate fractions, from which the n-paraffins can be isolated in high isomeric purity (greater than or equal to 95% linearity) by selective separation (eg, molecular sieve separation or urea extractive crystallization). (Higher n-Alkanes)
