[{"from": "human", "value": "What can you tell me about this molecule? [C][C][C][C][C]"}, {"from": "gpt", "value": "The molecule is found in alcoholic beverages. Pentane is present in hop oil.Pentane is any or one of the organic compounds with the formula C5H12. This alkane is a component of some fuels and is employed as a specialty solvent in the laboratory. Its properties are very similar to those of butane and hexane. It exists in three structural isomers, the branched isomers are called isopentane and neopentane. Pentane is one of the primary blowing agents used in the production of polystyrene foam.\n\nPentane has been shown to exhibit radical scavenger function (A7839).\n\nPentane belongs to the family of Acyclic Alkanes. These are acyclic hydrocarbons consisting only of n carbon atoms and m hydrogen atoms where m=2*n + 2."}]
