CAS 19780-10-0: 5-Dodecanone

Description: 5-Dodecanone is a ketone with the molecular formula C12H24O, characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) located at the fifth carbon of a dodecane chain. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a distinctive odor, often described as pleasant and waxy. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic dodecane chain. 5-Dodecanone is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and fragrance in the food and cosmetic industries. Its chemical properties include a relatively high boiling point and moderate volatility, which are typical for medium-chain ketones. Additionally, it can participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and reduction, making it a versatile compound in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that, while it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, it is generally considered to have low toxicity when handled properly.
