3. Alkanes are relatively unreactive substances and undergo only a few reactions. An aluminum chloride (AlCl3) catalyst to convert unbranched alkanes to their branched-chain isomers process called isomerization. In one such application, butane is isomerized to 2-methylpropane which reacts with butane in presence of HF to form 2,2,4-trimethylpentane.
