1-Hexadecanol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-, 4-methylbenzenesulfonate

Description:

1-Hexadecanol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-, 4-methylbenzenesulfonate, with CAS number 100566-23-2, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of sulfonates. This substance features a long-chain alcohol structure, specifically hexadecanol, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. The presence of multiple methyl groups in its structure enhances its steric bulk and may influence its solubility and reactivity. As a sulfonate, it likely exhibits surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including detergents and emulsifiers. The compound's hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic sulfonate group allow it to interact with both organic and aqueous phases, facilitating the stabilization of emulsions. Additionally, its long carbon chain may impart characteristics such as increased viscosity and potential applications in formulations requiring thickening agents. Overall, this compound's unique structure suggests versatility in industrial and laboratory settings, although specific applications would depend on further empirical studies and evaluations of its properties.
