Description:10-Aminodecan-1-ol, with the CAS number 23160-46-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an amino group (-NH2) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a straight-chain alkane. Specifically, it features a ten-carbon chain, making it a primary amine and a primary alcohol. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in water due to the hydrophilic nature of the amino and hydroxyl groups, while the long hydrocarbon chain imparts some hydrophobic characteristics. 10-Aminodecan-1-ol is often used in various applications, including as a surfactant, in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its functional groups allow for reactivity in various chemical reactions, such as acylation and alkylation, making it a versatile compound in both industrial and laboratory settings. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as with many amines and alcohols, due to potential irritant properties.
