n-Hexadecyl--d5 Alcohol

Description:

n-Hexadecyl-d5 alcohol, also known as hexadecan-1-ol-d5, is a deuterated long-chain fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C16H33OD5. It is characterized by a straight-chain structure consisting of 16 carbon atoms and a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group at one end, which classifies it as a primary alcohol. The presence of deuterium (D) in place of hydrogen in the alcohol's structure makes it useful in various applications, particularly in research and analytical chemistry, where it serves as a tracer or internal standard in mass spectrometry. n-Hexadecyl-d5 alcohol is typically a colorless, waxy solid at room temperature, with low solubility in water but good solubility in organic solvents. Its properties, such as melting point and boiling point, are influenced by the length of the carbon chain and the presence of the hydroxyl group. This compound is often used in the synthesis of surfactants, emulsifiers, and in the formulation of personal care products, as well as in studies involving lipid metabolism and membrane dynamics.
