3.3 Diethylpentan (also Tetraethylmethan ) is a symmetrically built aliphatic hydrocarbon and a structural isomer of nonane. 3,3- Diethylpentan consists of a quaternary carbon atom, are bonded to the four ethyl.

Like all nonanes is also Tetraethylmethan a colorless, flammable liquid with benzinartigem odor. It is poor in water ( 2.9 g · l-1 at 25 ° C ), but readily soluble in nonpolar solvents such as benzene. The ignition temperature is 290 ° C; as vapor is mixed with air from 0.7 to 5.7 % Tetraethylmethananteil flammable.
