Undecanol - Introduction
undecanol is a long-chain fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C11H24O and has 11 carbon atoms. Its physical properties are colorless liquid, slightly soluble in water, soluble in organic solvents. undecanol has a special aroma that can be used to increase the fragrance of the product.
One of the main uses of undecanol is as an ingredient in perfumes and fragrances, which are widely used in cosmetics, detergents, perfumes and medicines. Due to its long-chain structure, it can also be used as a lubricant and emulsifier, with a certain surface activity.
undecanol can be produced by hydrogenation of oil or petrochemical raw materials. A common method is to synthesize undecanol through the hydrogenation reaction of fatty acids, the specific steps include acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of fatty acid esters to obtain fatty acids, and then oxidation reaction to obtain fatty aldehydes, finally, undecanol was obtained by hydrogenation reduction.
In terms of safety, undecanol is considered a relatively safe compound under general conditions of use. However, prolonged exposure to high concentrations of undecanol may cause irritation. Therefore, when using undecanol, you should follow the correct operation method and necessary protective measures to avoid skin contact, inhalation or intake. In case of accidental contact or inhalation, immediately wash or contact a doctor for help.
