3-Ethylpentane (C7H16) is a branched, saturated hydrocarbon. It is an alkane, and one of the many structural isomers of heptane, consisting of a five carbon chain with a two carbon branch at the middle carbon.

An example of an alcohol of 3-Ethylpentane, is a tertiary 3-Ethylpentan-3-ol. ((C2H5)3COH)[1]
