Decane-4-ol - Introduction
4-Decanol is a colorless liquid with a light fragrance. It is a fatty alcohol with a molecular formula of C10H22O and a molecular weight of 158.28g/mol.
4-Decanol has good solubility, almost insoluble in water, but soluble in ethanol, ethers and chloroform and other organic solvents. It is a very stable compound that is not easily oxidized or decomposed.
4-Decanol has many uses in industry. First of all, it is often used as a basic ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, such as lotions, creams, shampoos and conditioners. Secondly, it can also be used as a surfactant and lubricant, and plays an important role in the manufacture of various chemical products and coatings. In addition, it can also be used to prepare dyes, plastics and synthetic resins.
There are two main methods for preparing 4-Decanol. One is produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of long chain aliphatic alcohols, typically using nickel or cobalt as a catalyst. Another method is by the oxidation of N-decane, which reaction often uses hydrogen peroxide or thionyl chloride as the oxidizing agent.
When using 4-Decanol, you need to pay attention to its safety. It is a low-toxic compound, but care should be taken to avoid contact with eyes, skin and administration. Wear protective gloves, safety glasses and protective clothing during operation. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help.
This is a brief introduction to the properties, uses, methods and safety information of 4-Decanol. For more information, please refer to the relevant chemical literature or consult a professional.
