41903-81-5 - Introduction
5-HEXADECANONE(5-HEXADECANONE) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C16H32O. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a peculiar waxy odor.
5-HEXADECANONE has a variety of uses in industry and laboratories. It is often used as a solvent to dissolve natural or synthetic resins, fatty acids and other organic compounds. In addition, it is also used in synthetic fragrances, coatings, adhesives and plastics.
The method for preparing 5-HEXADECANONE is usually obtained by hydrogenation reaction of fatty acid. First, the fatty acid is hydrogenated to form the corresponding alcohol, and then the alcohol is oxidized to obtain 5-HEXADECANONE.
Regarding safety information, 5-HEXADECANONE is a relatively low toxicity compound. However, as a solvent, it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract, so proper precautions should be taken when using it. At the same time, avoid contact with open flames and high temperatures to avoid fire or explosion, and it should not be mixed with strong oxidants and strong acids.
