Description:1-Chlorododecane, with the CAS number 112-52-7, is an organic compound classified as an alkyl halide. It features a long carbon chain, consisting of twelve carbon atoms, with a chlorine atom attached to the first carbon. This structure contributes to its hydrophobic nature, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 1-Chlorododecane is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a characteristic odor. Its boiling point is relatively high due to the long carbon chain, and it has a moderate density compared to water. The compound is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. It can also serve as a surfactant or in the formulation of specialty chemicals. However, like many chlorinated hydrocarbons, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the chlorine atom, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions.
