Somebody claimed that it wasn't hexane, but hexogen.

Yeah I assumed this is just a mistranslation or a mixup, since hexogen and hexane do sound similar. For those of you not in the know, hexogen is also known as cyclonite or RDX and it's what makes eg. C4 or Semtex go boom, while hexane is a very boring (in comparison) organic compound that doesn't go boom nearly as much.
