1-Decanol is a straight chain fatty alcohol with ten carbon atoms and the molecular formula C 10 H 21 OH. It is a colorless to light yellow viscous liquid that is insoluble in water and has an aromatic odor. [3] The interfacial tension against water at 20 °C is 8.97 mN/m.
SO 3 + CH 3 (CH 2) 10 CH 2 OH → CH 3 (CH 2) 10 CH 2 OSO 3 H CH 3 (CH 2) 10 CH 2 OSO 3 H + NaOH→CH 3 (CH 2) 10 CH 2 OSO 3 Na + H 2 O. Dodecanol is used as an emollient. It is also the precursor to dodecanal, an important fragrance, and 1-bromododecane, an alkylating agent for improving the lipophilicity of organic molecules.
Alcohols, in various forms, are used medically as an antiseptic, disinfectant, and antidote. [1] Alcohols applied to the skin are used to disinfect skin before a needle stick and before surgery. [2] They may also be used as a hand sanitizer; [2] to clean other areas; [2] and in mouthwashes.
Cetyl alcohol / ˈ s iː t əl /, also known as hexadecan-1-ol and palmityl alcohol, is a C-16 fatty alcohol with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 15 OH. At room temperature, cetyl alcohol takes the form of a waxy white solid or flakes. The name cetyl refers to whale oil (cetacea oil, from Latin: cetus, lit.
Heptadecan-1-ol or heptadecyl alcohol is a saturated fatty alcohol [4] [5] with the CAS number 1454-85-9. [2] References This page was last edited on 28 July 2024, at ...
2-Ethylhexanol (abbreviated 2-EH) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C H 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH(CH 2 CH 3)CH 2 OH. It is a branched, eight-carbon chiral alcohol . It is a colorless liquid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents.
tert-Amyl alcohol (TAA) or 2-methylbutan-2-ol (2M2B), is a branched pentanol. Historically, TAA has been used as an anesthetic [3] and more recently as a recreational drug. [4] TAA is mostly a positive allosteric modulator for GABA A receptors in the same way as ethanol. [5] The psychotropic effects of TAA and ethanol are similar, though distinct.
Octyldodecanol is a branched-chain primary alcohol used as the isomer 2-octyl-1-dodecanol in cosmetics such as lipstick, [2] or as an anti-blooming agent in facepowder. [3] It is a medium spreading emollient, with equilibrium spreading pressure of 17.0 dyne/cm. [4] Octyldodecanol is in the class of Guerbet alcohols, because it has the branch at the β position. [5]
