CAS 13037-88-2

4-(Hexadecyloxy)phenol

Description:

4-(Hexadecyloxy)phenol, with the CAS number 13037-88-2, is an organic compound characterized by a phenolic structure substituted with a hexadecyl ether group. This compound typically exhibits hydrophobic properties due to the long alkyl chain, which enhances its solubility in non-polar solvents while making it less soluble in water. The presence of the phenolic hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as an antioxidant and its ability to participate in hydrogen bonding. This compound may also exhibit surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including emulsifiers and stabilizers in formulations. Additionally, its long alkyl chain can influence its melting and boiling points, generally leading to higher values compared to shorter-chain analogs. The compound's structural characteristics suggest potential applications in materials science, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, where its unique properties can be harnessed for specific functions. As with many organic compounds, safety and handling precautions should be observed due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.
