Description:1-Undecanol, with the CAS number 112-42-5, is a straight-chain fatty alcohol consisting of eleven carbon atoms. It is a colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic fatty odor. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain. 1-Undecanol is known for its use in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and as a lubricant. It can also serve as a flavoring agent and is utilized in the synthesis of various chemical compounds. The substance has a relatively high boiling point and melting point compared to shorter-chain alcohols, reflecting its larger molecular size. Additionally, 1-undecanol exhibits properties typical of primary alcohols, including the ability to undergo oxidation to form aldehydes and carboxylic acids. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it can cause irritation to the skin and eyes upon contact.
