:

(2-Decyloxy)ethanol

Description:
(2-Decyloxy)ethanol, with the CAS number 23238-40-6, is an organic compound characterized by its ether and alcohol functional groups. It features a decyloxy group, which is a long hydrophobic alkyl chain, attached to a two-carbon ethanol backbone. This structure imparts both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, making it amphiphilic. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a moderate boiling point and low volatility. Its solubility in water is limited due to the long hydrocarbon chain, but it can dissolve in organic solvents. (2-Decyloxy)ethanol is often used as a surfactant, emulsifier, or solvent in various industrial applications, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, its unique properties allow it to function effectively in formulations requiring both oil and water compatibility. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper usage and minimize risks.
