:4-Tetradecanol
Description:
4-Tetradecanol, also known as myristyl alcohol, is a long-chain fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C14H30O. It is characterized by a straight-chain structure with a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the fourth carbon atom in the tetradecane chain. This compound is typically a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 4-Tetradecanol is known for its emollient properties, making it a common ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, where it serves as a moisturizer and thickening agent. Additionally, it can be used in the production of surfactants and as a lubricant in various industrial applications. The substance has a relatively high melting point due to its long hydrocarbon chain, and it is stable under normal conditions, although it may undergo oxidation when exposed to air. Overall, 4-tetradecanol is valued for its functional properties in both consumer products and industrial formulations.
