:

Decyl ether

Description:
Decyl ether, with the CAS number 2456-28-2, is an organic compound classified as an ether. It is characterized by a long hydrophobic carbon chain, specifically containing ten carbon atoms, which contributes to its non-polar nature. This structure makes decyl ether relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting typical behavior for ethers with longer alkyl chains. Decyl ether is typically a colorless liquid with a mild, pleasant odor. It has a relatively low boiling point compared to other organic compounds, which allows it to be used as a solvent in various chemical processes. Additionally, decyl ether exhibits low toxicity, making it suitable for applications in cosmetics and personal care products. Its chemical stability and ability to act as a surfactant further enhance its utility in formulations. However, like many ethers, it should be handled with care due to potential flammability and the need for proper storage to prevent degradation. Overall, decyl ether is valued for its functional properties in both industrial and consumer applications.
