'''Isopentane''', also called '''methylbutane''' or '''2-methylbutane''', is a branched-chain saturated ] (an ]) with five ] atoms, with formula {{chem|C|5|H|12}} or {{chem|CH(CH|3|)|2|(C|2|H|5|)}}.


Isopentane is a ] and ] liquid. It is one of three ] with the ] C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>12</sub>, the others being ] (''n''-pentane) and ] (2,2-dimethylpropane).
'''Isopentane''', ]], also called '''methylbutane''' or '''2-methylbutane''', is a branched-chain ] with five ] atoms. Isopentane is an extremely ] and extremely ] liquid at room ] and ]. The ] is just a few degrees above room temperature and isopentane will readily boil and evaporate away on a warm day. Isopentane is commonly used in conjunction with ] to achieve a liquid bath temperature of -160 °C.
