Verwendung

In der Natur kommen Dodecan-Isomere beispielsweise bei der Amerikanischen Dickkopfelritze als Stoffwechselprodukte vor, bei denen n-Dodecan und 2,2,4,6,6-Pentamethylheptan biotransformiert werden, um somit die Bioakkumulation zu verhindern. In der technischen Chemie wird eine Mischung aus Dodecan-Isomeren als Suspensionsmittel verwendet, vor allem für die katalytische Kettenpolymerisation von Olefinen (Polyolefine) mithilfe von Titaniumhalogenid-Materialien.
