Dodecane

Description:
Dodecane, with the chemical formula C12H26 and CAS number 112-40-3, is a straight-chain alkane that consists of twelve carbon atoms. It is a colorless, odorless liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Dodecane has a relatively high boiling point compared to shorter-chain alkanes, reflecting its larger molecular size and increased van der Waals forces. It is commonly used as a solvent, in the formulation of detergents, and as a standard in various chemical analyses due to its well-defined properties. Dodecane is also a component of some fuels and is studied for its potential applications in biodiesel production. Its low toxicity and stability make it suitable for various industrial applications. Additionally, dodecane can undergo typical alkane reactions, such as combustion, and can be subjected to cracking or isomerization under specific conditions. Overall, dodecane is an important compound in both industrial and research settings.
