CAS 2050-78-4
:Decyl nitrate
Description:
Decyl nitrate, with the CAS number 2050-78-4, is an organic compound classified as an alkyl nitrate. It is characterized by a long hydrophobic decyl chain (comprising ten carbon atoms) attached to a nitrate functional group. This structure imparts both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, making decyl nitrate a surfactant and a potential emulsifying agent. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. Decyl nitrate is known for its relatively low volatility and moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its long carbon chain. The compound is primarily used in chemical synthesis and as a potential fuel additive, owing to its energy content and ability to enhance combustion properties. However, it should be handled with care, as alkyl nitrates can be toxic and may pose environmental hazards. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance.
