1,2-Tetradecanediol

Description:
1,2-Tetradecanediol is a straight-chain aliphatic diol with the molecular formula C14H30O2. It features two hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups located at the first and second carbon atoms of a tetradecane backbone. This compound is typically a colorless, waxy solid at room temperature, exhibiting low solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 1,2-Tetradecanediol is known for its applications in the cosmetic and personal care industries, often used as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. Additionally, it can serve as a surfactant and is utilized in various formulations to enhance texture and stability. The presence of hydroxyl groups allows for hydrogen bonding, which contributes to its physical properties and reactivity. As with many diols, it can undergo typical reactions associated with alcohols, including oxidation and esterification. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
