CAS 1330-71-8
:Octadecanediol
Description:
Octadecanediol, with the CAS number 1330-71-8, is a long-chain aliphatic diol characterized by its two hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups located at the terminal ends of an 18-carbon straight-chain hydrocarbon. This compound is typically a white, waxy solid at room temperature, exhibiting low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. Octadecanediol has a melting point that is relatively high compared to shorter-chain diols, reflecting its larger molecular structure. It is primarily used in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and as a plasticizer in various polymer applications. Additionally, it can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The presence of hydroxyl groups allows for potential reactivity in condensation reactions, making it versatile in organic synthesis. Its physical and chemical properties make it valuable in both industrial and research settings, particularly in materials science and formulation chemistry.
