:Tetradecylbenzenesulfonic acid
Description:
Tetradecylbenzenesulfonic acid is an organic compound characterized by its long hydrophobic tetradecyl chain and a sulfonic acid functional group attached to a benzene ring. This structure imparts both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, making it an effective surfactant and emulsifying agent. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents, while its long alkyl chain enhances its solubility in non-polar solvents. Tetradecylbenzenesulfonic acid is often used in various applications, including detergents, industrial cleaning agents, and as a dispersant in formulations. Its sulfonic acid group contributes to its acidity and reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including neutralization and esterification. Additionally, it can act as a catalyst in certain organic reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many sulfonic acids, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant properties. Overall, tetradecylbenzenesulfonic acid is valued for its dual functionality in both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments.
