:

2-(Dodecylthio)ethanol

Description:
2-(Dodecylthio)ethanol, with the CAS number 1462-55-1, is an organic compound characterized by its long hydrophobic dodecyl chain and a hydrophilic ethanol functional group. This amphiphilic nature allows it to act as a surfactant, making it useful in various applications, including detergents, emulsifiers, and stabilizers in formulations. The presence of the dodecyl group contributes to its surface-active properties, enhancing its ability to reduce surface tension in liquids. Additionally, the thiol group in the structure can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and substitution, which may influence its reactivity and compatibility with other substances. The compound is typically a viscous liquid at room temperature and may exhibit low solubility in water due to the long hydrocarbon chain, while being more soluble in organic solvents. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper safety measures are taken during its use.
