Description:1-Iododecane is an organic compound classified as a primary alkyl halide, specifically an iodide. It consists of a straight-chain hydrocarbon with ten carbon atoms (decane) and a single iodine atom attached to the first carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a characteristic odor. It is relatively non-polar, which influences its solubility properties; it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. 1-Iododecane is used in various applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis and in the preparation of other iodinated compounds. Its chemical reactivity is primarily due to the presence of the iodine atom, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, it has potential applications in the field of materials science and as a surfactant. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, and may cause skin irritation.
