4-Hexadecylphenol

Description:
4-Hexadecylphenol, with the CAS number 2589-78-8, is an organic compound characterized by a phenolic structure with a long-chain alkyl group. This compound features a hexadecyl group (a 16-carbon straight-chain alkyl) attached to the para position of the phenol ring, which significantly influences its physical and chemical properties. It is typically a solid at room temperature and exhibits hydrophobic characteristics due to the long alkyl chain, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. 4-Hexadecylphenol is known for its surfactant properties, which can enhance the emulsification and dispersion of various substances. Additionally, it may exhibit antimicrobial activity and is used in various industrial applications, including as an additive in plastics and coatings. Its phenolic nature allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and polymerization. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
